No crib for a bed

Abby made the move into her big girl bed last weekend, and so far she's done great with it. She loves her big girl pillow and her big girl quilt, and I love how absolutely precious she looks lying there in that great big twin bed.

She's sleeping just fine and has only found herself trapped between the wall and the bed once. We've also been very blessed that (so far) she's been extremely good about staying in her bed and not getting out until mommy or daddy comes in to get her (except for the time she leaned on the bed's guard rail and flipped the mattress...but she didn't do that on purpose, I'm sure).

The Christmas story apparently is taking on new meaning for Abby now that her sleeping arrangements have changed. One day this week after I put her down for her nap, I heard her in her bed singing "Away in a manger, no crib for a bed. Abby's got a big girl bed!"

I'll bet Jesus didn't have flamingo sheets...
