big-girl bed

We have been talking for a couple months about getting Presley out of toddler bed and into a big-girl bed. We finally found one we liked and one that was within our price range so we went ahead and ordered it this past weekend. It came in yesterday and Chad put it together. She loves it. We actually got the mattresses on Saturday so she had been sleeping on those on the floor for a couple of nights to get used to it. Last night was her first night in her bed. She thought she was the coolest thing. She got her two blankies, Mr. Bear and a couple of books and settled right in. She kept telling Addison, "Addy, this is a big-girl bed, you can't have it." But when I woke her up this morning she told me that we needed to get a big-girl bed for Addy too. I'm glad she said that, because that's the plan. We will probably get the same bed for Addison in a few months so they can have matching beds. The plan is to move Addison into Presley's room and have them share a room so the new baby can have the nursery. Addison isn't ready for a big bed just yet, but eventually we will sell Presley's old crib and just keep the one for the new baby. We originally put the box spring and mattress on her bed, but it was just too high, so we ended up taking off the box spring. She is now just sleeping on the mattress. We found some new sheets and a cute little quilt at Target. Now we just need to go back and pick up a matching set for Addison. Seeing the crib out of there and a twin bed in there, it's got me wondering how we are going to arrange the room with another twin size bed in there. The room seemed so big before with just one crib, but now that there is a bigger bed in there, and soon two beds, it doesn't seem so big anymore.
