It was an eventful and exciting weekend for Sarah this past weekend. Saturday morning, Andy converted Sarah's crib to a toddler bed. She loved helping Daddy out. She looks at the two little rails Daddy put on and says "Dada, Dada." She is very, very excited about having a big girl bed. We thought we would do the transition a few months before the new baby gets here.
After we converted Sarah's bed, we headed out to Castleton to do a little Christmas shopping. Sarah LOVED shopping and seeing all the deocorations and people plua the holiday music. She was clapping along to the music and had a huge smile on her face as we strolled in her stroller through the mall. Andy tried on a winter jacket, and we asked Sarah what she thought and she said "ohhh!" She fell asleep on the way home from our exciting morning shopping and having lunch out at the mall. The first nap in the toddler bed went smoothly since she stayed asleep from the car.
That evening, Sarah slept excellent in her bed. The next two nap times were a bit more challenging. I would go in there and she would be twirling in the middle of her room or looking out the window just going "ya ya ya." However, today, while we were reading our stories before naptime, she hopped down from my lap and ran over to her bed saying "night night" and layed down in her bed. I kissed her goodnight and shut the door and then didn't hear a peep.
We've enjoyed a week of 70 degree days last week; everyday going to the park. Andy had Veteran's Day off so we made a very fun trip to the park. I love grocery shopping and shopping with Sarah. It seems like just about every time we're out, someone comes up to me and tells me what a beautiful little girl Sarah is (I just have to be a boastful mom for a minute!!). We're working on having Sarah clean up before naptime & bedtime and leaving the house and she is doing a great job when asked to put toys away. She does best when we ask her to pick up specific toys. Hopefully this will continue. Yesterday at Glamma's when she played with every single toy upstairs, Glamma was nice enough to let us go home for a nap since she was very, very sleepy and ready for a nap and not able to clean up.
Andy and I had a very fun date night on Monday night. We saw John Melloncamp at Clowes!
Looking forward to Thanksgiving next week!
