big girl bed!

about 2 weeks ago, we finally moved dottie into her new room and her new big girl bed (or as she likes to call it, her "big sister bed"). the move has actually been pretty painless (yes, i am knocking on wood right now) and dottie seems to be enjoying it. it started out a touch rough on us because after painting the bed and then assembling it into the wee hours of the night one night, dottie woke up the next morning to her new surprise and didn't seems to like it much to our dismay. the teachers are her school suggested calling it a pirate ship and since then, it has been an absolute hit. she says the bed it up top and the pirate ship is below. malcolm and wyatt came over to check it out last weekend and i think they approved as well! yes, and the best news ever is that this means esther is now in dottie's old crib in her own room which is fabulous! we will be making a little cozy space down below with pillows...
