On March 15, 2013, we moved Aubrie into her very own big girl bed! While Chris and I were on Spring Break, we decided that it was time for the move so that we'd have time and energy to keep putting her back in her bed if she decided to get out at night.
I was a little nervous about the whole thing because Aubrie was a great sleeper in her crib. I mean, that girl could sleep! I was afraid to mess that up, but I knew we had to do it. She has done great with the transition! She sometimes gets out during nap times, but it's usually for a good reason like going to the potty, etc. On the downside, she doesn't always sleep during her nap time anymore. I have found her reading books in her closet several times (which is stinking adorable!).
Just like we did with Evan, we took her to the store to pick out her own sheets for the new bed. She picked out Rapunzul sheets, and she loves them! It's amazing how big she looks now that she's not in a crib.
This is the bed that my Dad used when he was groing up. Clarie painted it orange in high school, and now we're using it!

Yeah! Just remembered...do you need the crib back again sometime soon? We are still using it but could try to transition E to a big girl bed. We have tried unsuccessfully but could try again.
Margaret, we are fine on a crib. First of all, we won't need it until September. But we have the crib that Aubrie used, and that will be fine. Only switch her when you/she is ready; don't hurry on account of us. :)
