Transitions

So, a couple of weeks ago I noticed that little man's lower left front tooth was wiggling. Ah, it's that time to start getting big boy teeth. I told him it will come out and it might bleed and not to worry since it won't hurt. He still seemed concerned, so I told him that when it comes out, we can put it under his pillow and he will get a dollar from the tooth fairy. (When we were kids it was a quarter, inflation, eh?) As soon as I said "dollar", he immediately started tugging on it himself. Motivation, BABY!

Next, we have girlie pants. Thanks to Auntie (Momma Pajama) who got her a tent like net thingee to go over her bed (girlie calls it her "castle in the sky"), it motivated Daddy and me to start to think about how it was time to get our 4 and a half year old out of a toddler bed and into a big girl bed. Since Daddy has been off this week, it just took a tiny bit of his elbow grease to make it happen. So, a daybed frame from the classifieds, brand new mattress, and a trip to the store to get new sheets and comforter and ta-da! Big girl room. Next month, it's little mans turn to get a room update. I was seriously considering camouflage netting for over his bed, hmmmm. We'll see how it goes from there.
