Big girl bed

Ok so it's the end of my first blog day and what exciting things transpired today? I had the day off, as did my husband. So did we hit up the movie theater, or go out for picnic or something like that? Nope. We took down our daughter's crib and put her big girl bed up. Which caused me a few problems. First off, I know she is not yet 15 months but this is a large step towards becoming a "big girl" and a step away from babyhood. Which is a slippery slope to childhood, to becoming a teenager, an adult and leaving me behind. I know, I shouldn't get ahead of myself, there will be plenty of time for all of this in a few years.

After assembly on the "new" bed was complete we proceeded to try to get her to use it for nap time. Thus the second problem. Anyone who has had to put a child down for an unwanted nap understands the fit that followed, thankfully it was short compared to the tales I have heard from other mothers. After laying with me in the bed for 10 minutes and screaming like I was feeding her to lions instead of just trying to get her to sleep she finally relented and feel asleep.
Which brings me to my next worrisome issue. Though I was glad that she slumbered I was worried since her head as 3 inches from falling off the foot of the bed. I quickly put pillows around to break her fall should she move too much in her sleep. Thankfully she made it through both naps today without any incident but I know it's only a matter of time and she will tumble.
But I guess that is just how life is, no matter what I do and how many pillows I pile up eventually she will fall and some times she will be fine and other times there will be a bump or a bruise that I will lovingly patch and kiss to make it all better.
I guess for now I should relax and enjoy the good things, like Eva wanting to snuggle and give me kisses and worry about the other things as they come up.
