Bed-O-Rama!

Mya has graduated to a big girl big this week! Those who know me well know that I am a nap time/bedtime psycho so this was a transition that I have been dreading! But Mya is VERY excited about her "big girl" bed so we went for it. Nighttime has been great - no problems at all - except for waking up a little earlier & the door being cracked (it's usually completely closed). Nap time is another story - it started off OK but it's getting progressively worse. Today I caught Mya reading/singing in bed with about 30 books in the bed with the light on. About 20 minutes later I came up to find Mya in my room watching T.V. & the 3rd time she was taking her clothes out of her dresser. The 3rd time was her last chance & she ended up back in the crib (we kept the crib in there for a consequence if she gets out). SOO I am happy that we are doing this now while I still have the energy!! It's pretty funny to see what she does. Here are a few pictures from her first night in bed - she is pretending to be asleep. The day before she got the new bed we were talking about it and she said "Thank you, I can get out now". I knew I was in for trouble!

She was SOOO excited to go to bed this night. She jumped in with her clothes on & I told her she needed to have her P.J.'s on first. She laughing said "no clothes on". I had to get her out of bed a few different times to pray, brush her teeth ect. before she was actually ready for bed.

Yesterday she came downstairs while I was loading the dishwasher & said "hello mom". She scared me half to death!! I didn't hear/see her coming!! I couldn't help but laugh!!!

My new love Mr. King!! For YEARS Gordon & I have slept uncomfortably & dreamed of the day we would get a bigger/more comfortable bed. This last month or so I have been ultra uncomfortable sleeping due to my expanding belly so we broke down & bought a king sized bed!!!! YAY! YAY! YAY!! We don't feel like we sleep in the same bed anymore but I am SOOO much more comfortable!! YAY! **A side note** The day the bed came was a crazy one for Gordon. He first ripped a HUGE hole in the crotch of his pants & then got a flat tire driving home from work at like 8 p.m. on Ironwood (which doesn't really have a shoulder area) to make matters worse he didn't have a tire iron that would work for his truck - and after many hours of help from Ben & going to a lot of stores trying to find one that would fit he ended up using the iron for my car & got it home around 11 p.m. What a crazy day - at least we had the new bed to sleep in that night!! LOL
