Time for a big girl bed

We bit the bullet a week ago and converted Lily's crib to a toddler bed.    With around an hour of effort on my part with her parked in front of Sesame Street, we went from this:

To this:

Lily was a little confused at first but quickly climbed in to try it out.   We made a big deal out of her BIG GIRL BED and her exciting new sheets and blanket and pillow for the big girl bed, and she did really well with the transition.   It was almost a week before she fell out and it only happened once (she still moves around the bed a lot, but less than when it was set up as a crib).   Mark and I kept the crib rail in our room just in case we had to do a quick reversion but it seems to be just fine.

We peek in on her every night before we go to bed, and that first night in the toddler bed we looked at each other and thought that she looked so grown up.   And she is - I can't believe how the last two years have flown.
