Ivy's Big Girl Bed

We've been talking with Ivy about getting a big bed for months. I bought the bed frame back in January and we've been slowly accumulating the mattresses and bedding awaiting the right time to transition Ivy to a bed. More recently, Ivy has been asking for her bed so once we finished hosting all our spring visitors, we decided it was time.

A few more pictures and one last goodbye.

And then it was gone.

Mandy and I put the bed together while Dan had the kids at Kip's swimming lessons. When they came back home, Ivy was elated to see her bed for the first time. She jumped right in and snuggled.

Unlike Kip when we moved him from the crib, Ivy transitioned seamlessly. She went right to sleep the first night, stayed in bed the whole night, and woke up with her OK to Wake clock the next morning. She napped no problem and that was it! 

The bed is a sweet white metal frame daybed with a trundle below. I've been sleeping on the trundle to support Ivy's transition and it has worked wonderfully! Very comfortable!

She does have a bed rail to keep her from falling out.

Happy little big girl.
