Big Girl Bed

Kendra went through a crazy growth spurt this year--she actually still seems to be just growing right up.  I hear that's something we're just going to have to get used to because apparently children turn into adults whether they get their parents' permission to or not.

Who ordered that?

But, besides almost altogether skipping a size (or two) of clothes, one way that became abundantly clear was that I suddenly noticed that she just did not fit in her toddler bed anymore.  Which wasn't such a big surprise as she had moved right out of the "toddler" category and into the "preschool" one long ago.  Though I felt bad as I realized when I would take Elliot in to go to bed after she'd fallen asleep that every night she was laying diagonally with her feet hanging off the edge or that she'd be curled up in a little ball to stay on.

So, we decided it was time to upgrade!

After a lot of consideration, we decided to get her a junior loft bed.  It's got a twin mattress on it and it's up off the ground but not too high up.  She was pretty excited when we told her about it and eagerly awaited the delivery and assembly of the new Big Girl Bunk Bed.

And she has been an extremely happy camper with the whole situation...
