We have sort of been dragging our feet on when to switch Kelsey into a big girl bed. So after a summer off, we decided the weekend before school started seemed good ;) hehe Actually, we just thought we might as well get the room all set up and ready to go and just see how it goes. We have been talking this big girl bed idea up big time and she seemed pretty excited for it. I let her help pick out her bedding, although mommy saying "I really like this" helped steer her in the direction I was thinking ;) I did let her get the Dora sheets she picked out by herself though. Daddy helped make it all happen by putting the bed together and rearranging all the furniture. I admit that I was skeptical as to how it would all fit. We are planning to have Kelsey and the new baby share, so we wanted to try an arrangement that would work for that. Thank goodness Mattey is good with spatial order because he did a great job rearranging everything and the room looks great! Thus far, Kelsey has only taken naps in her big girl bed, although we plan to work on it more this weekend. With school starting and all the transitions that go along with that, we are trying not to push it too much. Maybe it is the pregnancy hormones contributing, but I did cry when she laid in her bed the first time because it made her seem so big. She likes to lay in it and read her books, so she is slowly warming up to the idea.
On a side note, we started school and oofda, this getting up early in the morning thing will take a little getting used to. (I should clarify--for me and Kelsey, not Matt. Matt gets right up, while I press snooze savoring every second.) Matt and I have had a good couple first days back getting in the swing of things. Kelsey girl on the other hand has had a tough time separating from us. She tells us, "Don't leave me." I am not sure how Mattey handles dropping her off and having her cry like that because I am sad about it and I am not even the one doing it! I know it is a transition and will take time, I am just hoping it is sooner than later because it sure makes it hard. Let's hope it is short-lived.

Hey Skalas--The room looks great...Matt did a great job at laying it all out. I cried when Soren moved to his big boy bed too---they grow sooo fast. Cherish these last few months with just her---when her little sibling comes its a whole new ballgame and baby makes 4! Hugs to Kelsey and a kiss to the little one coming.
