SteelyKid returns today from her weekend at Grandma and Grandpa’s, and there’s going to be a surprise waiting for her: She hadn’t exactly outgrown her crib yet, but she was getting kind of big for it, so we decided to move her to a big girl bed. It’s a “captain’s bed” with drawers underneath the… Continue reading She’s a Big Girl Now
