Goodnight and Sleep Tight



we set up the bed this morning and madison just loves it! she dives into all her stuffed animals and burrows down. i still think she is too young to sleep in it but in the meantime she can get used to the idea. she was too cute. as soon as we put it in her room she moved all her stuffed animals to the bed, climbed on all by herself, and laid down. the only catch will be keeping her from jumping on it - she loves jumping in her crib!!

thanks for the ideas on the bed and bedding - i actually found a great solution! cheap and easy. we never used the blanket that came with the crib set because it was always too big and bulky for an infant. i was always worried about suffocation - we used it on the floor and other places, just not in the crib. well it fits a toddler bed perfectly because the mattresses are the same size. so we will just use that and i will find material for sheets that coordinate, or just buy some pink ones. now the crib and toddler bed will match and when madison gets older we can upgrade to something different. i am so excited!

Ooooo! What a perfect solution using the quilt that came with the crib set. I never used them much either. You are such a girl after my own heart. Creative & frugal!

Thanks for the "memory" I definitely loved getting to know you that trip to Cali. I've thought you were awesome ever since then too! PTW Adam is fine, though it was super scary there for a while. I guess he's gotta start getting boy bruises sooner or later. It is pretty inevitable.

That is what I did Marie. I even have Allie's crib blanket on a twin bed. I just bought matching sheets and I only use the fitted one. (it is always so hot) Then it is WAY easy to make the bed and Allie can help fold the blanket and lay it across the foot of her bed. I am all about cheap and little work as possible. Plus bed rails get in the way of making a bed anyway. If you buy new sheets just pat for a fitted one. At least for me it is just too much hassel to put the flat sheet on with the rails.
