Monkeys Rule-Almost-

This is a life lesson..

It's about SweetCheeks

stepping up the

Big Girl Ladder.

She has always been

"the little one"

in the family until

her two little cousins 

came along.

She has not been jealous

but she has 

NOT WANTED 

to give up her

"own little bed"

with the sweet

little floral

comforter and pillow shams..

You know those beds.

The ones that kids move

into after they leave the

crib.

She slept in the crib

here whenever she

stayed overnight

until she was 3-1/2.

Then we fixed up a 

little bed for her 

in with her big sisters.

She has had a hard

time letting go of it,

even though she stretches

the full length of the 

crib sized mattress.

Someone else

is in the wings waiting for

that little bed.

Can you guess who that

might be?

Yep-BigBoyE!

He and his Mom & Dad

and CharlesInCharge

will be coming here

tomorrow night.

How to make the

switch over?

Hmmmm..let's see....

Let HER make the

choices?

We went shopping.

BigBoyE

LOVES MONKEYS.

Yes. He. Does.

SweetCheeks made

some great bedding choices

for the little man.

Monkey sheets~

Monkey blanket-

Here she is putting

the finishing touches

on "his" bed.

How cute is that all together?

AND,

as we were leaving the

store she spotted this.

A big ol' E and noted...

Hey...That would be

perfhect for Effan.

And so it is.

It hangs just above the 

little bed he can

now call his own.

No more flowers 

on the 

"little beddy"

anymore.

One more step

on the ladder

of becoming a

"big girl".

I'm kinda mourning

my "little girl"

already.

She might be ready

but I don't know if

I am!

Oh..yeah...and

just so

HE KNOWS

that

SHE STILL RULES..

This is what is 

being used for a doorstop!

Why? Why you ask?

Cuz isss stihll reelly my owhn

ROOM, Nana.

sigh...

Well, we have jumped

ONE hurdle..I'm sure

there are several

more ahead!
