From Little to Big







This little girl has slept with her momma for the last two and a half years. Laying in her momma's bed singing and talking herself to sleep. Then her momma would come to bed, and move the little girl over to make enough room for momma to lay down and fall asleep. After a few hours the momma would feel the little girl snuggle up close, and then hear her sigh.

However in recent months this little girl has started to grind her teeth, keeping her momma up at night because of the noise she was making.


One day momma had enough! Together then went to the store to pick out a bed that the little girl would find just as comfortable as her mommas. They went to many stores, bounced on many beds and finially picked one out and asked her Papa to pick it up on his way home.

TODAY was the big day! The little girls Papa picked up her very own bed and brought it home! Her momma and put it together and put the NEW sheets and blankets on that the little girl picked out. Her Papa dug out the headboard that her momma had when she was little.



The little girl stepped back, and took a long look at her new bed. She was so excited! She jumped up and down on the bed, and told her Papa that he could not sleep with her, that this was her new bed. This was the bed that she helped pick out! The bed that she got to choose the pillows for!




The little girl is now snug in her bed. It took a little bit, but she is there... sleeping. The lights were turned off and on a few times. There was an "I need to go potty" moment. And when she came back down to her room, her momma hugged her and told her that she was a big girl, and that she could do this! She hugged her momma back and said "Im just alittle nervous." But, she is still in her room... sleeping.


This little girl is growning before her mommas eyes. She is growning into a caring, loving, smart and silly big girl! A big girl who goes to school, has her own friends, and sleeps in her own bed.
Tonight is a good night!
