Harper had her suit and sunglasses on by 9:30 this morning and waited very patiently for Roman to take his morning nap. She has some fabulous new pool attire, courtesy of cousin Kali, and a new Dora backpack-towel (a brilliant invention, in my opinion).

We had our lunch at the pool and were exhausted by nap time. This weekend we converted Harper’s crib into a toddler bed, and she is doing great in it! I wasn’t sure that she would stay in it, but she treats it just like a crib and doesn’t get out until I come to get her. I’d like to keep it that way as long as possible. The first night we put her in it, she actually fell out. Luckily I had stacked some quilts at the end that doesn’t have a railing, and she rolled right onto them. Since then she has stayed put, but still sleeps like a baby moving all over the bed throughout the night. We put a pillow in there, but she rarely keeps her head on it.

Next step: day bed with a trundle. I’ve been looking for one for a while now and can’t find something that will work. They are all either too expensive or too flimsy-looking. I think the toddler bed will work for a while, but if anyone out there knows where to get nice sturdy wooden kids’ furniture, let me know!

It’s been an exciting few weeks for Harper, but now she is both potty trained and sleeping in a “big girl bed.” Pre-school, here we come!
