Milestone

Sage has had several milestones this year. She's been completely day timed potty trained since the summer. She gave up her binky in the daytime in summer too. THAT was huge. We suffered through many screaming fits for that one. She loved her binky, but she still had it in her bed. She looked forward to going to bed for that reason too.

Then, on her actual birthday, since 3 means you're a big girl, she threw her binky away for good. That was another huge thing. It was rough, but it actually wasn't as bad as when she gave it up in the daytime. Today is another event that closes the door on "baby." That's what it seems like. She's getting a big girl bed. We bypassed the toddler bed all together. We tried to convert her crib into one a few months ago, but she freaked.

So when my mom was here we went to Rooms to Go Kids, and she ordered her a sleigh bed. When the truck pulled up, Sage was so excited. It was the cutest thing! Of COURSE, I can never get just one piece of any furniture that I have delivered. The footboard is scratched, and I said that wasn't acceptable. I love dealing with delivery people. Anyway, we've got a new one coming, but until then, she is perfectly happy. Of course, getting her to understand that she has to sleep in this thing could be difficult. I'm in the process of getting her to take a nap, but it's so new and fun to her that sleep is for the birds. I went in there just now and asked her, "Sage, are you comfortable?" She says, "Yes, and I'm pretty too." LOL, WHAT?! It is important to be pretty as you are about to sleep. Anyway, here are some pics. Look how happy she is!
