Big Girl Bed

I love our baby crib, it's beautiful. We bought it when I was pregnant with Cooper and it's in Evan's room now. But neither of my children slept in it - ever. So I had no problem selling it. No sentimental value. Sold it last week.

One of my friends says that her family is very European - she and her husband let their kids sleep with them. I guess we're very European too, in a way. Cooper and Blake sleep in Cooper's room and Evan sleeps with me in the master bedroom. It works for us. And Blake and I work out visitation. It's all good. Actually, did you know that the American culture is one of the few cultures that feels that families shouldn't sleep in a "family bed"? But I digress. I had a point here...

Over the last few weeks, Evan has started going to bed by herself in my bed. This new development, coupled with the fact that I sold her bed, signaled to me that it was time for a big girl bed.

So I went all out. She's getting a canopy bed. She is a princess, and what little princess sleeps in anything but a big canopy bed? It will be a transition from my bed to hers, but we'll take it slowly.
