we had tried to put dahlia in a big bed a while back, but she kind of freaked out. since then we have been asking her off and on if she would like to sleep in a big girl bed like mama and daddy, she finally said yes! but also the past month or so she has been much more independent and she wants to do everything by herself, so it seemed like a good time to try again.. so we brought over justins old bed from his parents house and set it up and then also set up a different crib since valen broke off one of the bars on the other crib (= hopefully soon we can put them both in their at night ( valen sleeps in the pack n play in justins office at night right now, it is really hot in there!) and they can keep each other happy in the morning a little while (= and then MAYBE dahlia will take a nap!! (since valen wakes up about 730 and dahlia doesnt get up till 830 or 9, she will need a nap now)

right after she got up today we commented on how much of a big girl she is now, and soon after that she said she had to go pee, so she went into the bathroom.... i thought maybe this would be a new start for her... but sadly not. well she did go in her potty chair but a couple hours later peed in her underwear. actually i am ok with her not being potty trained quite yet, it is more of a hassle right now. in a few months would be a good time. so we are just waiting for her to "get it" and not rush it. 

we are so excited she is in her big bed, now if she wakes up at night we can just come lay with her for a few minutes until she falls asleep... much better than letting her sleep with us and getting kicked out, literally! and now valen can have her crib too.
