Guess who has a “real” big girl bed?
Despite the fact Ava hasn’t spent a night in her own room in weeks, we lugged a queen-size bed up from the basement and set it up for her. She was VERY excited and decided that she could fit a lot more of her babies into this bed. (All of them, in fact.)
We started taking Ava to a chiropractor for sleep issues a few months ago, and while I’m not sure it’s doing anything, it feels good to be proactive. We’ve also increased her magnesium intake, which again, is probably fruitless. Still, though, she’s been sleeping on the couch in our room, and not spread-eagle between us, so we’ll count that as an improvement.
It’s only 9 pm, but I can report that she’s asleep in that new bed. At least for now…

How exciting! She is so darn cute – did she get a haircut, or is her hair mostly in a ponytail?

This is huge news! I hope Ava enjoys all the perks of being such a Big Girl! How did it turn out last night?

Oh my goodness, I miss all of you so much it hurts. Give her a big hug for me.

Believe it or not, she slept there through the night. I’m eternally hopeful…

Wow! That is great! It must be all those babies in the bed with her!

Katie, I just saw your comment. Maybe you could move closer to home???? Kansas City would be nice. Or maybe Chicago? We’d even consider Denver.
Really, now. I’ve withheld that comment for the past several weeks’ posts now.
