Big girl bed!

Sometime last week Steven got up for work and I got up to pee. He came in the bathroom and was like "Omg, Rian is soo big!" She looks like a giant in her toddler bed. So we started talking about getting her a big girl bed. Then Saturday, my Mom texted me that the pastor of their church's house burnt down. :( They lost everything and their dog. I can't even imagine. They have a one year old and a 5 month old, both boys, so she asked me to go through Aiden's old stuff. I also told her, if they needed it, they could have Rian's crib.

My old bed used to be here, set up in the room that is now Rian's. We had nowhere to keep it, so its been at Steven's parents' house. His Dad brought it over yesterday. Her room looks extra, extra small now!

She looks so little on it!

Typically, Rian falls asleep on the floor then when I go to check on her, she'd in her bed. I thought for sure she'd want to sleep in her bed. Nope! She still wanted to sleep on the floor. Butthead.

:)

I got her some cute sheets for $10. They have a lot of pretty quilts at Target but their $80! No thanks. Aiden's quilt was expensive to buy the materials for, but at least that's one of a kind!

The kids are finally at ages, they can [and like!] to help with stuff. I have a table cloth and place settings on the table, so every night now, they take it all off and set the table for dinner. :) So cute. They love getting stuff out of the fridge for us, if they can reach it. They help put clothes in the washer and dryer and when I fold their clothes, they love getting their socks and underwear and putting it away. They like to help cook too, their favorite thing to do is spread the peanut butter and jelly onto the bread. When I vaccuum, one of them always goes and gets the play vaccuum. I want to get them a little broom too. Get them doing stuff for me before they get older and hate it!

Rian's favorite thing is helping me empty the dishwasher.

She gets all of their plates [I keep them in one of the lower cabients, so they can get them out at meals], all of the plastic cups, lids and straws.

They're growng up so fast. :\ So bittersweet. There is absolutely nothing "baby" about Rian anymore. We were talking about it last night. I've been saying for awhile that I have two big kids, instead of two babies, but now I officially do. So strange! But so fun. Life with them is crazy and hectic, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
