When I was pregnant we decided that with a new baby on the way, it was time to get Heidi a big girl bed and get her crib ready for the new baby. Unfortunately, no matter how many cool beds we looked at, Heidi was not buying it. She really didn't want to move out of her crib. She would act really sad whenever we talked about it and would plead with us to maybe let her and the new baby share a crib. This broke our heart. So we decided we needed to get creative. One day I was looking at a restoration hardware catalog and noticed they had the cutest teepees. I showed them to Heidi and she instantly fell in love and started begging for a teepee. So I talked to Austin about it and we both decided that this might be the way to get Heidi out of her crib. So we ordered one. We ended up getting one custom made from a company called Banana J Creations in Australia. We would have gone with the restoration hardware one, but it wasn't big enough for her crib mattress. The one fits her crib mattress easily inside and is even big enough to go over a twin bed later on if we want. It was a little pricey after shipping all the way from Australia, but Heidi adores her teepee and has long since forgotten about her crib. Her room is still a work in progress but we really love this addition and so does she! I especially love the twinkle lights. Makes her room so romantic!

This is one of the coolest things ever. What a great idea! Her teepee is just a sweet place to go to sleep every night and those lights are just too pretty. I want one of those too :-)
