Big girl bed

My baby is in a big girl bed!  Only potty training left to go, and she's officially no longer a little girl (oh yeah...and her pacifier...).  I held out until I thought she'd try to climb out - she was starting to try and climb in, so I figured out wasn't far behind.  We just took the one side of her crib off - more familiar that way, and the crib has a dresser and changing table attached that I still use.  She is SO proud of her new bed.  She likes to do everything herself now, so the fact that she can get in bed is wonderful to her.  We just did it on Friday, and she's done great.  The first night she didn't wake up at all!  Saturday night she was up a few times, but just because the blankets fell off.  I think I need to get a twin sized blanket so I can tuck it in.  I shut the door to her room (always have), and we've only heard her get out of bed a few times.  She'll just lay there in the morning/after nap until we come to get her - she does get books or more animals and bring them in, but just stays in there nice.  What a good girl!  I got a bed rail, but I guess it's only for twin beds, so we just put blankets on the floor next to her.  So far she hasn't fallen out!
