Cate has always loved her bed. Normally, she goes to bed without any struggle and wakes up happy as a lark (she does not get either of those qualities from me!). Some days, when she wakes up from nap, she just wants to sit in bed and read a book!
Then it happened. One early morning I heard her calling me, but before I could get to her room, I heard her voice again, only strangely closer. Yep, she had climbed out of bed. I decided that would be the end of that and converted her crib to a toddler bed.
It has been a fairly seamless transition. Bedtime is
slightly more difficult, and I have found her sleeping on the floor in front of her door on
occasion, but overall, she is quite the big girl!
When Catelynn was born, it was clear that she was taking after me in the hair department. Not my current hair situation (in that case, I guess she would take after Marc!), but when I was a child, I didn't really grow any hair until I had celebrated my second birthday. After enduring at least a year of Cate being called a boy and attempting headbands which were not tolerated, we finally reached the bow-in-the-hair milestone. Perhaps not a milestone for most, but it was a proud day at my house. And now, May 13th will be known as pony day. I braved my fears of inadequacy in the styling department, and these pictures show the results!
