About 2.5 weeks ago, we decided it was time to get Jade's big girl bed set up! We let Jade be a part of the whole process so she could best understand what was happening! She loved helping daddy put the bed together and was very helpful with handing him the screwdriver!
Everything was all ready to go (bed setup and bedding washed) and then...the guardrail happened. Turns out that the guardrail we purchased, or probably any non Pottery Barn Kids guardrail we could purchase would not work with this particular bed without a box spring (which we do not have)! Grr.
So, unfortunately Jade was unable to sleep in her bed that night, or for the next 2 weeks for that matter while we got the guardrail situation figured out. The good news is, Pottery Barn sells a guardrail that would work with this bed, the bad news, they no longer sell it in the color of Jade's furniture!!! Luckily, the Baum family came to the rescue, and mailed us their old guardrail from Cruz's bed! Nate was able to sand it down and paint it, and I think it turned out pretty great! So grateful!!
The room decor is not yet complete, so more pictures to come! Jade has had three successful days of naps and two overnight sleeps in her bed so far! She is still sleeping in her sleepsack (like she was in the crib to prevent her from escaping) and so far, it's having the same impact in the big girl bed!
Aw, what an adorable big girl bed! Yay for Jade for making the transition so smoothly. Wow, what an adventure with the guard rail. Leave it to Aunty Alison to come to the rescue. :)
