as you'll see from the picture, she didn't always sleep on the mattress. on a couple of occasions, she got up and put her head under her tricycle and slept peacefully there. don't quite understand what that's all about, but it's all good.
last weekend we braved ikea on a sunday to pick out a bed. if you've ever been to an ikea on a weekend, you understand that this is a fairly crazy undertaking - especially with evie in tow. things went ok, though it took longer to pick out the bed than evie was really up for. we decided to divide and conquer. mike took evie to the play area, and i headed to the warehouse to pick up all the pieces. that's when i realized that we wouldn't be able to fit it all in the car with evie and the carseat.
oops. back home and another week of sleeping on the floor.
yesterday morning mike disassembled evie's crib to make room for the bed that he was going to pick up that day.
evie thought the rails made very fun "walking sticks".
then mike headed to ikea, and evie and i headed to a party. we definitely got the better end of the deal. when we got back evie and mike were both ready for a nap, so bed assembly would need to wait a few hours. mike and evie awoke well rested, and we let sponge bob babysit while we put the bed together.
evie's reaction when she saw it? "i love my big girl bed" (imagine that said in a high pitched squeal).
