Big Girl Bed
Transitions. It feels like we were just laying our sweet little baby in her crib and this weekend she grew up and out of it. Yep, it was time for a “big girl bed”. Hubby’s boss (and good friend) graciously asked us if we wanted to use the bed he MADE for his kids. Of course, knowing his talents and high quality standards we said an emphatic yes. It did not disappoint.
How can she be that big?!?
She loves it. So far she has slept in it two nights and is doing great with the transition. She has “Baby Band-Aid” and “Baby Me” (her names for her baby dolls) sleeping up there with her along with a veritable zoo. Besides sleeping in it, it is her current favorite place to play.
Speaking of growing up and transitions, I really hope she goes through an awkward growing-into-herself phase. How else is she going to ever learn some manner of being a normal person instead of a celebrity? I mean, really, look at her. How many pairs of giant sunglasses, hats, and frumpy sweaters am I going to have to find otherwise?
A random additional picture for this post. Here she is reading to her lego-man. You can see him just barely peeking over the book.

Oh My! I’ve missed quite a few posts! She’s so BIG!!!! (something went funny with my Bloglines and I wasn’t notified of new posts. Boo.) Love the videos of Day 1 vs 1 year later. So much change. Today is 3 months with Dorothy and I can hardly bear to see the Gotcha Day video because, even after only 3 months, I can read her fear and pain and hurt in her eyes from that day. Amazing how resilient she’s been. Whew.
Love, love. love that she loves books. I can’t tell you how hard it is to get Dorothy to sit for a book reading. NO INTEREST. All our other kids, we influenced them from birth, “we love books! books are great!” Brainwashing.
But, bring home a toddler that never was read to much, and WoW!… no reverence for books. This will take some work, I can see.
