Big Girl Bed

Miss Ella Bay learned to climb out of her crib a few nights ago.  Since it was already time to sleep, this meant a slumber party on the floor for Ella and Mommy.  Mommy tried to sneak back to her own bed a few times, but that just resulted in Ella waking up and pounding on her door.  The next morning Mommy and Daddy converted her crib to a toddler bed.  She gave her crib a big hug and kiss and waved bye bye.  Then she helped take it apart.  When it was done she jumped up and down on her bed, sang No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, and said "I so love it!"  She was so excited she had to call her cousin Kaitlyn to tell her all about it. Ella has been doing very well in her bed.  She has woke up a few times at night and climbed out, but has gone back pretty quickly (without any door pounding :)).  She is really proud to be a big girl! Here are more pictures.
