Big Girl Bed

This weekend Grandpa Cromwell came down from Preston with Julia's new bed. We had been talking about it all week with Julia to let her know her new 'big girl' bed that would be coming. She was so excited and probably told everybody about it too! Saturday came and daddy and grandpa set up her new bed and she loved it. She wanted everyone to come and sit down on her bed and told everyone to take off their shoes first. I was gone most of Saturday and wasn't able to see her sleep in her bed until I got home and she was sound asleep in her bed at nap time and bed time. She looked so small in the 'big bed.' I was a little worried that she would get up and not stay in her bed but I asked Layne and he said she will play around on the bed for awhile but never got out and finally fell asleep. So nice to hear but she may get wise and realize I can get out and play. The first night she did fall out of bed and was crying in her door way for us but went right back to sleep when we put her back in bed. And its weird to see her just walk out of her room after her naps. In the mornings she still yells out for mommy or daddy. And we really hope this will help with her potty training. Its seems to have been working already. Last night she would call out to us and say she had to go potty and we would just go check on her. So hopefully she will eventually learn to just get up and go. Kinda sad that she is no longer in her crib and not such a little baby anymore...she is growing up to fast. Hopefully we will be able to fill up the spot in the crib soon! And a big THANKS to Grandma and Grandpa Cromwell for the new 'BIG GIRL' bed.
