Ava's new BIG GIRL room!

Last week Ava attempted to climb out of her toddler bed via the crib side and got stuck between the wall and the crib. She's gotten too big for her crib toddler bed. I also LOVE our crib and it is one of the few things that I do want to use next time so I did not want her to break it either with her new gymnastic skills.

I never in my wildest dreams thought we would have to take the crib down. I ALWAYS thought it would be hard for me to get pregnant with our first but once we had our first that we'd be able to have our kids all about 1 1/2 - 2 years apart and we'd never have to take down the crib till we were done having kids. Oh how wrong I was. Ava was our "easy" child to conceive and nearly 2 years later number 2 is proving to be extremely difficult.

I was able to take down the crib this morning without crying. I did it with Ava there and that helped because she was so excited about her new big bed.  We managed to take the crib down and put her twin bed up in an hour and then my mother in law watched her while I hung tissue pom pom's from the ceiling and a clothesline of rompers :)

And if you noticed that this is the same quilt that we have in our room... then you are right. I have loved it all along for Ava's room. When we decided to change Ava's room over, I looked it up on Pottery Barn and they were clearance them out and all they had left were King size duvets.  I decided to go for it and used the material to make the twin comforter and the extra material for curtains, pillow cases and I still have more left! 

Ava was so excited about it and went to sleep so easy tonight. She has napped 1 time (yesterday) in 3 weeks so we are hoping that maybe this will help nap time too :) Ignore the messy bookcase, still need to work on it.  And I'm changing the pom poms in this last picture, I don't love the pastels. AND I'm doing a contest on my brittybird blog to figure out a vinyl for right over her bed!! :)
