Big Girl Bed!

We transitioned Elena into a big girl bed recently. What girl would want to back to the crib after having a "Big Girl Bed Party"! I know what you are thinking, are we coo-coo? Well... maybe, but we got the idea from a friend and it has worked like a charm so far. After her first nap in the big girl bed, we had a cake waiting for her and candles to even blow out. We even sang "Happy Big Girl Bed" to the tune of Happy Birthday. She had a blast and is loving her new bed!!








Yes... you read it correctly, the cake says "Big Girl Bed"






























Oh yeah, we wore hats too!

Very smart parenting, Mary Ann. Pat had a rough transition to his big boy bed because I waited until little Mike was around. He emptied a bottle of Prell shampoo all over his carpet- bubbles and foam everywhere. Then he peed on his wall. YIKES! He turned out fine, but that was a very bad day.
