Claire pretending to sleep in her new "big girl bed." We just stole a twin mattress from our guest room. Thanks, guest room. Sorry guests! :)
We just plopped it on the floor by our bed. And by "we" I mean...I watched Josh carry it all by himself. ;)
And she has slept on this bed for approximately....ready...0 minutes...she insists on still being in our bed...and I am far, far too lazy to care. :) She says her princess bed is too dark. She got the bedding stuff for Christmas from us. Kind of a rip-off gift since I would've probably ordered it anyways! :) After another week or so of it being in there, I'm going to try laying on it with her to see if she'll fall asleep in it. I hate the idea of
transferring her because I'm afraid I'll wake her up and have to lay down with her again until she falls asleep.
Someone on
Facebook recently asked "why" I still laid down with my almost 2.5 year old. But my first thought was "WHY NOT?!" I mean, I wouldn't expect her to spend her day "alone" in any way...eating, bathing, or playing unsupervised...and I
definitely don't like the idea of her "sleeping" unsupervised. We live in a safe neighborhood and all, but it's just the whole idea of her being alone that bothers me...and I think rightly so at this age. I think nature meant it to be this way. Why are freshmen roomed together in college? Husbands and wives
bedshare, but a tiny little person is expected in our culture to sleep alone for what is as much time of the 24 hour clock as they are awake?
Anyways, I'm not trying to get her
transitioned anytime soon. I'm thinking...huge regression anyways...when baby boy is born. But now she has the "option" of sleeping in her own space if she wants to.
She's buried in there reading her book:

Every time I take pictures, she screams "Take a picture of me running in a circle!" Why? They make for terrible pictures, but I think she gets a kick out of seeing them on the little screen.
