Jillian has been sleeping in a toddler bed for a year or so now and has done well in it except that she has so many friends (namely, hippos) that need a place to sleep, too, she was a tiny bit crowded! Luckily for her (and her hippos), her bestie, Caleb is expecting a new baby sister this fall. His sister's room housed a twin bed that she is not going to need for a bit, so they needed a place to store it. So we oh-so-kindly offered to store it! :) This was a win-win - they get to keep the bed in a place close enough to get it back with they need it and we can wait a little longer to buy new furniture for Jillian!
I wasn't too sure how she would feel about her new bed, but she took to it really quickly (she did fall out the first night before we added rails to it, but she wasn't too traumatized!) And she seriously loves all the room for each of her hippos, for her doll Maddie, and for anyone else that might happen to make it in with her! Plus, it gives me room to cuddle her and talk about our favorite parts of the day together before going to sleep (or well, before she says she is going to sleep, but ends up playing with all these friends for who knows how long!)
I promise there is a twin sized bed under there. And Jillian is also in this bed if you look past the mound of hippos!
