So, so, SO many fun and exciting things to tell you about this month. For starters, it's official, I'm a big girl! I eat like a big girl, I potty like a big girl, and NOW I even SLEEP like a big girl. That's right. I'm in my very own big girl bed. Mommy went and bought me a brand new bed and a brand new mattress, nothing used for me (surely you've heard about the bed bug infestations? ain't no joke kids!). THEN she took me to the store and I got to pick out ANY sheets I wanted. So of course, I picked out the pinkest, most princessy sheets I could find. I even got a new night light because Mommy said big girls don't need to leave their bathroom lights on all night. And you know what? She was right! I LOVE my big girl princess bed and I'm not even afraid of the dark. The first night I was SUPER excited to go to sleep. I even told Mommy and Daddy to get out! But then, after about 20 minutes, I realized I could get out so why stay if I didn't have to? This resulted in what Mommy calls a "power struggle." I struggled and struggled and struggled, but ultimately, I let Mommy win. Since that night, no problems. I love my big girl bed SO much and if you ever come over, I'll show it to you! I just LOVE to show it off!
In other exciting news, Mommy took her first real trip without ME. She called it a girls' trip, but I'm a girl so I'm not really sure why I couldn't go too. Anyway, she went to the Bahamas and I stayed home with Daddy. I spent a lot of time with Nana while Daddy worked, which was super fun. I didn't really sleep much, but Nana lets me do whatever I want so why would I waste that time sleeping? Then Daddy and I went to Oriental to see my Grandma, Grandpa, and some of my cousins. That was super fun too, but I think my mommy really missed me.
This month I also went back to school! Yay! School is so fun and this year I got 3 mornings a week. Some of the babies in the class cried the first few days, but not me! I'm a big girl now, remember? And big girls don't cry. I just went right in that classroom and headed for the princess stuff. Some of my friends from last year are in my class and I'm making some new friends too. My teachers say I'm a great helper.
