Big Girl Bed!!!

Someone got a new BIG GIRL BED!!! This was her first nap in the bed. Savannah still is a decent nap taker. She will usually sleep at least 2-3 hours sometimes more. At night, she pretty much prefers to sleep with us. It is just not fair that she has to sleep all by herself when Mommy and Daddy have a big bed and get to sleep together!!! At least that is what she tells us. We have been working for a while to have her sleep in her bed but we are pretty unsuccessful after the 3rd visit at 4 in the morning. Yes, we are lazy parents who just prefer to sleep!!! She told us as soon as she got a big girl bed that she would only sleep in her room. So Daddy had enough of the "nightly visits" and he worked hard to build the bed and encourage her to sleep in it.
Twinkle Twinkle little star...how I wonder what you are.......Up Above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky.......Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star!
More twinkle and a couple of stories later, she is ready for her nap.
Plenty of smiles later.........
and it is time for me to move the things off the shelves. We went ahead and bought a bed with a trundle since there will be lots of sleepovers and friends will need a place to stay. It does make the bed higher though and she can now pluck all the treasures off the shelf. I found most of them on the bed when I went to check on her.

She is still trying to get adjusted to sleeping in her room. She was on our bedroom floor this morning. We will keep trying just as we keep trying to potty train. She has a little bit of stubborn in her (gee, where would that come from? Must be from Great-Grandma!--they do share a middle name you know!) and I told her last night that she only has 10 days to be the winner. She wants to be the "winner" at everything so I told her Kyle is the winner right now since he went poop and potty on the toilet by the time he was 3 years old. He actually trained himself the week of his 3rd birthday so I keep holding out hope, but I have a feeling I need to make a pullup run this week!! She told my mom she wants to be the WINNER so we will go with that threat!
