November 23, 2007

Suki plays with the ABC snail...

...the quacking ducks...

...and the drawing pad.

Then she relaxes with the art book.

Looking up at the camera.

Grace laughs as Dad takes the Who's Hiding book a little too literally.

Why is Suki sitting in the crib?

Because today's the day Grace finally wanted her big girl bed!

She was so cute laying her head down on the mattress -- she was even laying it on the slats before we got everything put together!

So pleased. Grace put the last screw in this bed and helped me turn it.

Climbing up. It was madness trying to keep Grace and Suki out of the room while we assembled this bed. While they are usually content to go off and play by themselves, the minute they weren't allowed to be with us that was all they wanted.

Pleased as punch.

Cozying up with her new pillow.

Giggling as she imagines being able to spend the whole night in this bed.

There's no night light in her room (yet, we're waiting to see if she needs it) but the first thing she did after we left was pick up the book we left on her bed and acted like she was reading. She even recited some of the nursery rhymes before turning in.

Grace momentarily disappeared from the screen but then climbed back into bed and went back to sleep without any intervention from us. It's midnight now and she's still doing great. We're keeping our fingers crossed that the rest of the night goes smoothly.
