Big girl bed...or Squatter?

SO many stories to tell and pictures to share, so I'll catch up with a bunch of short blogs...

One big thing around here lately is that Ainsley moved out of her crib (for cryin' out loud, she'll be 3 next month, so it's about time!). The delay in moving her was just because she didn't seem to care. She was happy in the crib, she (for the most part) didn't ever try to climb out, and we knew she was safe and confined in there. After the few weeks we spent in Cincinnati in November when she slept on a blanket on the floor in the den the whole time and never ONCE even got off the blanket, we knew she was fine to switch. So, the week of Christmas we made a big deal out of her moving into a "Big Girl Bed", and anticipated it being a few nights of scolding, reminding her to stay in the bed, etc... but Ainsley surprised us again. It's been 3 weeks and she's never gotten out of bed on her own, she's still the greatest sleeper ever, and she's adorable. This last week, we did put a regular sized twin mattress in there, but these pictures are from Night 1 and 2 when she still just had the crib mattress on the floor.

Her holding hands with that baby doll is maybe the cutest thing ever. She puts the blanket over her head to play hide-n-seek...and then just falls asleep that way.

I think this was Christmas Eve... we moved her back into the bed soon after we took pictures. =)
