Big Girl Bed

As if sending my 5 year old off to Kindergarten wasn't hard enough to handle, this week we decided it was time for our 2 year old to move into her very own "big girl bed." We were lucky enough to get a bed frame that belonged to my great grandmother, which looked great after a quick coat of white paint, so all we needed was a new mattress, sheets, and comforter. The mattress was easy enough to get, especially during the Labor Day Furniture Sales at practically every furniture store in the area. And after some searching on the internet, we found the perfect comforter, sham, and bedskirt set - ladybugs of course. We gave Hailey the option to switch to something else, but she decided she wanted to keep with the ladybug theme we already had going in her room. So Monday, we put it all together















The little "Hailey-bug" on her big girl ladybug bed - does she look happy or what?


After getting the bed together, it was apparent that we were in need of a dresser to match. And since both hers and her brother's dresser were both falling apart, we took the big plunge and purchased a dresser for both kids. Now her room is all girly and cute as can be for our big girl.















And the dresser for Zach's room looks great - much better for our big boy.















Seems like every time I turn around, my kids are growing up on me, but I'm so proud of them.
