a big girl bed

After six weeks of both beds in Fannie's room, she quickly made the transition all on her own, deciding, that indeed, she was a big girl.  **sniff, sniff**

She was delighted to see me bring out the allen wrench to take apart the crib and quickly ran to get her own tool box, hardly able to spit out her words she was so full of excitement!  With her screwdriver and an empty basket to collect the hardware she said over and over, "we are piecing apart my crib!", and was so stinkin' proud of herself in the process.

When I returned from hauling the pieces into the garage, she said to me, "Did you see my new room?  I have a rug, I have a changing pad ( her sheepskin), I have a 'puter (typewriter), and all my uva sings."  So with my heart running around on the floor in front of me, I held her hand as she showed me around this new space and laughed to myself that the only change that was made, literally, was the removal of her crib.

Now, to ignore my pining uterus for a bit longer as it suddenly feels as if there is no longer a baby around...

I can't stand the thought of her growing up a second longer!
