Last weekend Evie spent Friday and Saturday sleeping on her mattress on the floor. On Sunday I asked her if she wanted to get rid of her crib and use a "big-girl bed" and her response was an emphatic "SURE!". I took apart the crib and converted it into the cutest little small person bed. Evie was so excited about it she immediately got all of her stuffed animals and put them to sleep on either end of her new bed. Then we went out to Target and picked up a few things every big girl should have: bedside table (aka bookshelves, aka red crates), a hamper and a box to organize crafts. Evie was most excited about the hamper and proceeded to collect all of the laundry in the house and insist that she be allowed to wash it. (nice...)
She has slept really well in the bed all week. (I think she might have fallen out one night because she woke up crying for some reason but when we came in the room she was in the bed. so who knows....) The funny thing is that she still stays in bed and calls for me in the morning as if she were unable to get out. I will be curious to see how long that lasts for.
In other news Evie has really gotten into art projects and this morning we busted out the clay. She had a great time making squirmies (her name for long pieces of clay) and must have spent an hour creating scenarios with her squirmies, which, of course, had to involve me sitting there patiently with squirmies on my leg so that "they wouldn't cry when Evie leaves" She also, very nicely, brought Patrick his own squirmie to keep him company while he did house repair work... too cute.
