Today I picked up Sydney's big girl bed & was she ever excited. Brad put it together after dinner & of course Sydney just wanted to play on it. She said she wanted to sleep in it tonight, but we told her she would have to wait until tomorrow. I said I needed time to get the sheets on for her & that I would do it tomorrow. Truthfully I could have gotten it done in time for her, but she was so worked up I did not think she would actually sleep tonight.
We will see tomorrow night if she actually will sleep in it or if she will want to go back into her crib. The bed seems gi-normous to me & it is really high off the ground. The bed doesn't need a boxspring, but the guardrails that you buy for kids say that you need to use them with a boxspring. So I was staying on the side of caution & bought a boxspring. Well, I sure hope the rail works because if she is going to fall out of bed she has a long way down before she meets the floor. I actually think the headboard would look funny if we didn't have the height of a boxspring, but I probably should have looked harder for a mattress that I could have gotten a low-profile boxspring.
Oh well, I am sure it will look great once the sheets are on. I think too I will be making a trip to IKEA tomorrow to buy the flower lamp that I saw & thought would look good in her room. It mounts on the wall & I think it is exactly what we will need to read bedtime stories.
Of course, one of the best things about new furniture is playing with the boxes it came in.
