Santa's Surprise

We were away for Christmas, spending a few days with my family (tons of pictures to come!).  While we were gone, Santa visited our house:

As we tucked her in for her nap, she looked up with a smile and whispered, "I have a big girl bed!"  Santa has made this little one very happy.

Ten minutes later:

(Not using the pillows, of course.  CC's never been one for pillows.)

A picture of the complete ensemble:

I realize that the blue bed rails don't really match the rest of CC's room, but I could only find these specific rails in blue.  They're temporary, so I can live with them for now.

Right now the bed is too high for her to want to climb out on her own.  She can do it, but only when we're standing with her and encouraging her.  She'll be doing it soon enough on her own, but until then it's nice that she won't be getting out of bed 100 times a night.  Hopefully by the time she feels comfortable climbing out on her own, she'll be used to sleeping in a bed.  *fingers crossed*
