The "Big Girl" Room

Well it has finally happened. Last night McKenzie asked if she could sleep in her "Big Girl" room. It has been finished a long time, since like last March. However, she was not into her new room then and wanted to still sleep in her crib in the nursery. We did not push the issue. We do not need the nursery for anything now so she continued to stay in there...until last night! She wanted to sleep in her big bed. I did talk her out of it last night because I really want to have a monitor for her room before she sleeps in there at night. Now that she is changing rooms, she is not close to our room and I am just afraid I would not hear her if she needed me in the middle of the night. So, last night I said No! However, today at nap time McKenzie asked again, if she could sleep in her big girl room. This time, I said Yes! I will hear her at nap time if she needs anything. I put her to bed and checked on her 10 minutes later to find this...

...Sound asleep! She loves her big girl room! So when she wakes up, we are off to the store to buy a monitor so she can continue sleeping in her new room. She is so grown up. Even though she gets lost in her big bed! I can't believe that she is out of her crib and in her big girl room! Just the thought of it makes me so sad but happy at the same time!
