So Big!

McKinley got her first big girl bed and boy did we go all out. Spencer and his friends Trevor are doing log furniture for a side job and so we had them do a little bed for McKinley and last night was the big night for her. She seemed really unsure of what to think of it. She was excited but not ready for a big bed. The only concern Alicen and I had was no side rails and so if she fell off she would hit the floor. Anyway, we said evening prayer around her bed and then tucked her in. Like ten minutes later we could her knocking on her door to be let out. So we had to put her back into bed and try again. This time was a success, she fell asleep on her bed. Most people say its a hard switch for kids but McKinley is so good with things like this. She does not care. Anyway around 1 am, Allie and I woke up to a thud. I ran into McKinley room and she had fallen on the floor. She was half asleep and trying to walk to the door. It was sad but funny too. We put her back in her bed and asleep she went again. Only this time, we decided to put the couch cushions around her until we can get some rails. She did not fall out again the whole night. She will learn like most kids to know where the edge is. I remember lots of time my sister Robyn falling off the bunk bed from the top. Robyn learned and so will McKinley. It was a big night for all of us.
