After a long time waiting, Diana finally got her big girl bed. Before I journal about the "big girl bed" excitement, let me rewind one full year. The first time Diana crawled out of her bed was on her brother's 3rd birthday in October 2009 (1 full year ago). I guess she could sense all the attention was on him that morning so she decided to showcase her great climbing skills. She was 20 months old at the time. We were getting Davis ready for his birthday party and she just came strolling out of her bedroom and said hi to everyone.
We have been meaning to get her a bed sooner but she was such a good climber she actually enjoyed climbing in and out of her bed and never got hurt. This could possibly be the reason she is our "acrobat" child.

She was very happy about her "big girl, princess, flower, butterfly bed" as she called it.

Yes, I am finally in a big girl bed Mom & Dad! I've waited 1 year and 1 day for this!!!
She was so darn cute and happy when she laid down to go to sleep and even asked me to "take my picture sleeping Mom". She slept all night and has made a perfect transition since. She and Davis said we need another baby for the extra crib we have. I informed them we were putting the crib in storage and that big kid beds were just fine for Mommy right now :-)
Quick flashback to Davis on his first night with the big boy bed. He first climbed out of his crib at 26 months old and we promptly rushed to the store and got him a bed within days so he would not get injured. Funny how things change the second time around!! Davis is still an excellent climber - can't imagine had we left him in the crib longer - yikes!!
