New beds for everyone!

Brian and I decided that with the limited amount of closet space we have in this house that we needed to buy a dresser for our bedroom. Well instead of just buying a single dresser, we decided to go ahead and buy ourselves a new bedroom set. I posted the picture above from a website, because there was no way I could get an angle in our tiny bedroom that would get a picture of what we purchased.
In the midst of all this new bed buying we went ahead and put Ally's big girl bed together and freed her from her dreadful crib. I had to prepare myself as I thought of all of the ways the crib has made Ally stay in her room for naps and night time. I just pictured the next week being an up and down rollercoaster of keeping our toddler in her bed. It has been almost one week now and our little angel can't wait each night to sleep in her bed. I think she just feels like such a big girl now that she gets to sleep without a cage around her.

I was on the phone with my mom the other morning and I heard Ally wake up and get out of her bed. I was patiently waiting to hear her foot steps coming down the stairs, but minutes went by and no Ally. A few seconds later I heard the upstairs toilet flush and then footsteps back into her room. About 5 minutes later, Ally came down the stairs. I was expecting to see her in her pj's , but she had decided now that she is a big girl she was going to get herself dressed. It didn't shock me to see that her choice of clothing for the day was a shirt, underwear on backwards and a pair of shoes. No pants or socks. I am definately not a morning person so it wouldn't shock me if she may have learned this one from her momma...haha.

We were able to take some pictures of Allyson her first night in the new bed. Let me tell you this girl tosses and a turns all night long. It has made it easy for Brian and I to say no to her sleeping in our bed. Even in a king size bed she is all over the place. We captured a couple of Ally's many different positions throughout the night.
