Hailey's Birthday Party: Part 1

Hailey turned three years old on Sunday, so we decided to have the party of Saturday. This ended up being a very crazy day for me.

First of all, Hailey got a new bed. (This will be a tradition in our family now. At age three the child will be moved from the crib to their own bed. Let's hope Robert last in the crib that long.) Due to lack of space, I put the bed together that morning. I only needed a little bit of help connecting the head and foot boards to the mattress support bars.
The mattress is a crib mattress so it's not really a bigger bed and works out perfect in our small apartment.
My mom was able to find toddler bedding which really is an amazing thing. It has the fitted sheet, a top sheet, a comforter and a pillow case. Here is Hailey's bed all made up. I love the pretty colors.
Hailey does too and wanted to be surrounded by her blankets even though it is hot at night. She loves her bed and doesn't even look at her old crib which is now Robert's. Robert loved playing in Hailey's crib before the switch. However, he is jealous of Hailey's bed now and keeps crawling into it when we are getting ready for bed.
Hailey now wakes up and gets out of bed at 7:30 instead of waiting for me to get her at 8:00am. Also naps are still uncertain but so far (two days) she stays in her bed for at least an hour and gets out without waking up Robert. If this continues, I couldn't be more happy.

The second big present that Hailey got is this little car. This awesome toy is from her Gramma. This toys has more parts then the bed and was harder to put together. For some strange reason we can not get the yellow top to snap into place. Nathan will probably call the manufactures today to figure out our options.
In this top picture, Robert is actively pushing Hailey around in the car.

In this picture Hailey is filling up the car with gas (using the screwdriver.)

They love this car and will use it a lot when it's nice outside.
