Time to lower the baby bed!

It seems just like yesterday that I was putting Kate's bed together. It has probably been about 10 months ago to be exact. Today, I had to lower her bed. Kate is just like her brothers when it comes to milestones. One day she can't do it and the next she can. I learned with Drew that if you want to sleep at night not to turn up the volume on the monitor and that is why I love me video monitor. Her room is right next to mine so I can hear her pretty good. If I think I hear her I just look at the monitor. Every morning here lately when I hear her I look at the monitor and she is trying her hardest to pull up on the bumper pads. My greatest fear is that I am sleeping so hard that I do not hear her and she is standing up in her bed and falls out. That is why today her mattress was lowered. She sat so sweet with her big giant frog that Lacey gave her. It was in Lacey's room when she was a baby. The lowering of the mattress was not the hard part. It was the bed skirt. Why someone hasn't come up with a bed skirt pattern that is adjustable I will never know. It is perfect when your bed is as high is it can be but when you lower the mattress the bedskirt is too long. I took it off, laid it out on my floor and with safety pins I pinned it up so it would look somewhat decent. If you come in her room it looks good but if you looked at the back or the side next to the chair it does not look so great. I finally got the bed all put back together and I hope that it won't have to be done again until she needs her toddler bed. I just can't believe she is that old.
