Maya's a BIG GIRL!

Sunday, Maya had a miserable hot. (A WHAT? A cold, but she insists it is called a HOT!) She was runny, stuffy, unhappy, sleepy, whiny, just plain unhappy. SO unlike her! Anyway, after her 30 minutes of protesting her nap, she was unleashed from the confines of her crib. She sauntered into our bedroom and greeted Scott and me with the most astonishing news--"I no want my cribbie anymore Mommy. I want a big girl bed now and I give my cribbie to the new baby!"

Anyone who knows Maya knows this girl ADORES her sleep. Her crib is her sanctuary; she was best described by our close friend and babysitter Michele-"She's like me after a long day at work on a cold winter day. All snuggled up under my blankets, head nuzzled into my pillows and in heaven-what could be better?" Maya has always been a child who when she wakes up from her naps and in the morning, would request to hang out in her crib longer; there wasn't anything to play with except her two loveys, a couple of blankets and now a pillow and pillow pet. That said, she has always been the kid who tried to climb INTO her crib, rather than out!

With this shocking news, we gathered all of our stuff and despite her "HOT" raced over to check out some beds. Fastforward to today, Wednesday-we have now ordered her bed, her "hot" has been downgraded according to her, for she now just "has a cold." However, poor Maya has to wait a LONG LONG LONG 2 months until her big girl bed arrives. She continues to let us know that she no longer wants her cribbie for it is for the baby and she is ready for her big girl bed!
