Today was a big day, one Sadie has been looking forward to and talking about for a week: we bought her a big girl bed.
So, Sadie and I went over to Ikea this morning and she tried out a few different beds.
We went down and got a big cart and loaded up our bed and mattress and sheets and we were on our way. The whole time, Sadie kept reminding me that we were getting her a "big girl bed". She was really very excited about it.
On our way home we stopped at a food truck in Red Hook to pick up some Columbian food for us and mommy and Sadie demonstrated her fine motor skills.
After all that excitement, and a little lunch, Sadie took a nap. And after her nap, she helped assemble her new bed. It was pretty wonderful how engaged she was in helping put it together.
She liked using the tools and did a great job.
When it was finally time to try it out, she was thrilled.
And when bedtime came and she got right into her big girl bed and lay down and stayed lying down even after we went downstairs and left her for the night, mommy and papa were thrilled too.
Sadie stayed busy pretty much all day long and it was exhausting, but it was a lot of fun.
