Last Friday I came home from work and Ella's crib had vanished and in it's place was the much discussed, "big girl bed". Jerry sat confidently on the couch ready to embrace this next step. I, on the other hand was a bit more tentative. I hesitate to even write about it should I jinx our six successive nights of sleep success. That's not to say it didn't take some heavy re-direction and a thick layering of ground rules. That first night, Ella immediately began dress rehearsal for the opening of the off-off Broadway hit, "No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed". Luckily though, we have been concussion-free and she, her new fuschia bedspread and a myriad of stuffed pets have become fast friends. We are now awaiting the arrival of a new bookcase, dresser, rug and art. It's a big step. But I think we're ready.
