And then they grew up on me...






Well we finally broke down and have the girls in real beds now.... I know I know... We had both Laura and Rachel in the cribs that were converted into day beds for freaking ever. I didn't want to move them too soon because of the horror stories I had heard from others, and then my main problem was that their beds converted into full size beds, but I couldn't figure out how to do it... Babies r' us was most unhelpful, and on many different occassions when I would go in and ask they would pretty much shrug their shoulders at me. I also was trying to figure out if I wanted to paint their rooms before getting beds, and finally I figured to leave it like it was. I also toyed with the idea of getting them twin beds so they would have more room... but I figured to stick with the full size as I had full size mattreses already in the attic, and I reasoned they had a huge playroom, so they don't really need a lot of room.

I found the papers that came with Laura's crib and called the manufacters customer service line the other day to find out what I had to do to get the conversion kit. The lady told me I could order the conversion kit through them, but I could get the same thing from a furniture store much cheaper.... So I made Dave call Haverty's and we were good to go.... I deceided to get Rachel a different bed altogether, as I wasn't sure how I was going to like her bed convered. I got her's through Costco.com. I found the beddings at Target. Rachel's beding goes awesome with her paint in her room. The girls love their big girl beds, but I still get sad when I walk in their rooms and see a big girl bed....
