Aubree made yet another milestone last night. She slept in her big girl bed.
The actual bed frame wont be here until later this week, but we found a really good deal on a twin mattress set. I couldn't wait to have her sleep in her big girl bed.
With kids you are so excited to have them meet milestones, you completely forget how much life changes once they are reached. There are days I wish she was still about 2 months old, non-mobile, cuddly, and not able to talk back. But we have children to teach them and watch them grow (impatiently waiting for grandchildren to spoil rotten).
With all of my excitement I forgot that her door will now have to be cracked so when she wakes up she can come get me. Which means the cats can now go in there. Yay. Torri isn't so bad, but Zoe (the kitten) likes to try to play with you while your sleeping. Zoe woke poor sleepy Aubree up a couple of times last night. We also put a baby gate in the hallway so the only place she has access to is her room and our room. I don't really need to wake up to all the canned goods on my bed.
I also forgot that she normally wakes up around 7:00 or 7:30 am and plays in her crib until about 9:00am when she decides enough is enough and whines to wake me up. With the big girl bed, Aubree was in my room at 7:00 am on the dot saying "Mommy hold you". Adorable yes, but Mommy was still sleepy! I tried to get her to lay back down with me, but no such luck. Luckily hubby let me take a nap once he was awake.
My little Angel is growing up. And its going to take some getting used to, from all of us. Including the furr-monsters!
