Toddler bed

Well, its obvious that I have been a big blogger slacker! Life has been busy as we prepare for this new little baby boy! We've been getting his room ready, and moved Gracie into a toddler bed. James and I were so excited to see how she would react to this change. The first week was so fun. She just loved it, at night she goes to bed so good, and she calls my name out in the morning to come get her. Over delighting in our success one day, I put our little "angel" down for a nap. About a half an hour later I heard strange noises in her room. I went up stairs and she had done it! Yes, she had taken off her dirty diaper, and decided she was a big girl and could clean herself. I looked around the room, and couldnt see where the diaper was. With my nose as my guide,I found a crinkled up dirty diaper stuffed in her pajama drawer. The used, dirty wipes were all stuffed back into the wipe dispenser (clever huh?)
She completed her little mascarade by taking off all her clothes and shoving them along with all her other clothes under her bed!
The next day, I thought, surely yesterday was the worst of it. So, I put her down for her nap, and low and behold a half hour later I heard lots of banging. So I went upstairs and the little "angel" had taken all of her clothes out of her drawers, pulled all her dresses off the hangers, took all the books out of the book shelves, and even took apart the humidifier, all on the floor in the room. Thanks to my sister, I realized this is just one of those times I need to get out the camera and not let myself get upset. So, I went upstairs, took some pictures, and put her back down. Thankfully, after that, she finally fell asleep.
So, the adventures continued for several days. Today is the first day she napped without getting out of her bed to see what kind of mischief her curiousity would get her into.
Hopefully, she will get it all out of her system before baby brother comes!
