Our Little Girl Is Growing Up

We changed Ava's crib over yesterday to a day bed. As I was taking off the side she came up to me and asked me if Daddy was fixing Ava's princess bed? I of course said yes. As soon as I got the side off of it her little face lit right up. She sat on the side of her bed swinging her legs. We told her that it was her big girl princess bed. She curled up under the blankets and I took a couple pictures. We eventually turned off the lights and came down stairs. Ava walked up and asked me to turn on the hallway lights upstairs and her bedroom lights. She kept running from her bedroom down stairs to us. She was so excited. When we put her to bed last night she stayed there for about twenty minutes. Then we heard her get up and open her door. She came down stairs and said Ava not sleepy. We let her stay up for a few minutes. Terri took her back upstairs and rocked her and they said there prayers together. She put Ava back in her big girl princess bed and Ava stayed there until close to 8:30 this morning. She is growing up so fast.
