I painted Libby and baby #2's room last week and we set the bed up this weekend. Today I picked up the mattress that we had ordered (saving $70 picking it up myself). Libby was so excited, from the time I dragged the mattress into the room until it was put on her bed, she kept saying, "nigh' nigh'" and "bed".
For the rest of the evening she kept bringing books and her babies into the bed and pretending to sleep with her head resting on the pillow. After we get back from Michigan next week, Libby will start taking naps in her new big girl bed until she masters that, and then hopefully before baby #2 arrives, Libby will be in the big girl bed permanently. Any suggestions out there on keeping Libby in the bed would be much appreciated.

2 words...bungee cords (or as you used to call them, "Jupiter Cables")
duct tape
put a giant cage around the bed
Tell her that it's not a place to play and that she shouldn't hang out in it. Forbidden fruit ......
You're lucky she likes it! Based on experiences with my nephew, I'd say make sure to push a nightstand or something up to the bed where the guardrail ISN'T...if she rolls around anywhere near as much as he does, that is!
Also, when the new baby arrived, he was kind of SOL in terms of sleeping in his old crib, so that was that.
Hope my "I'm not a parent but I sure like to talk like I am one" advice was helpful :)
Spelling out
"L-U-K-E- S-K-Y-W-A-L-K-E-R"
is sure gonna look great on the wall across from
"L-I-B-B-Y"
Did you redo Libby's letters? They look different from how I remember them....
