Macy's room makeover

Well I finally did it (after much debate), we converted Macy's crib to a big girl bed! We felt like Macy was getting ready but were a little scared of actually doing it! She had started to cry when we put her down at night and wanted us to lay with her which was impossible with the crib. My mom had gotten her bedding and it was killing me to have it just sitting in her closet too so that was another push to do it. Michael wanted to wait until after the holidays, so the day after Christmas we took it down. We got the convertible crib down and discovered that you had to have special rails to fit it that cost way more than I was willing to spend. So thankfully my dad was able to get a regular frame to fit the head board. Until we we able to get it fixed she slept on the crib mattress on the floor for a few nights! Here are some pictures of our progression!
This is how I found her the first night. Yes she is asleep using the mattress as a pillow! She sleeps with her hand over her face too! Looks like she was putting on lipstick before falling asleep!
The second night it took her a little longer to get to sleep, but eventually she went. I found her once curled up in the rocking chair trying to sleep and put her back to bed where she stayed!
Today Poppy brought over her bed!! She was very excited and is presently taking a nap in it....I hope! Thanks Poppy for fixing my bed!

I need to find a bed skirt to match and we will be in business!!

Oh so cute! I can't believe our little Macy is in a big girl bed...makes me happy and sad!! It looks great, but I do see you have it in a different place. Oh I never did ask if Connor's face is still getting better. Have a happy new year!!
