kate's big bed

kate graduated from the crib to the big girl bed.  yay!  we have been waiting and waiting on this bed to be in stock.  i started looking through classifieds for it and found a couple but i was a day too late!  finally ikea got it back on the shelves and we picked it up.  the beauty is that the bed is extendable.  since we will "soon" be having 2 kiddos in one room, this bed was perfect because it can be small enough to accomodate a bed and a crib.  right now it's about 4 feet square but when she gets big enough, it will extend to a full twin.  yay for not having to buy 2 beds :)  or a new crib mattress for that matter...
she has been quite hilarious during the "getting used to a new bed and staying in it" phase.  in between shutting her door completely so she's all but locked in, to rules like "stay in bed until mama comes to get you" and "no jumping on the bed!", and rearranging the furniture in her room .... she's been thrown for quite the loop :)  but she's adjusting well and has been really good about staying in bed all night. 
 looks like we'll be learning "5 little monkeys jumping on the bed..."

4 quick quips:

I love the pics. What a cute "big bed" for Kate. Does this mean that we will have to put the "pack and play" away now?

What a cute Bed! From the pictures it looks wide. Is it a full? I hope everything goes well with the transition and that Kate will stay away from mommy's and daddy's bed during the middle of the night. There is nothing freakier than waking up to your kid looking straight at you in the face.
