Felt so bad for DD tonight

Over a week ago we moved DD to a full sized bed from a toddler bed.  She's been so excited about it and has slept great in it.  Well this past weekend I put her toddler bed comforter and sheets up on Craigslist and someone came to buy them today.  DD didn't say anything, but at bedtime tonight she was sobbing saying how she missed her "little flower bed".  Her old comforter had flowers all over it, and her new one does too.  I've sold tons of her stuff she's outgrown over the last year and she hasn't had any problems with it.  Today was a different story.  I felt so bad for her.

That is so pitiful.  Maybe tomorrow if she's still sad it would work to help her understand that it's going to help a very little girl learn how to be a big girl and start sleeping in a bed instead of a crib just like she did.  I know for my oldest that feeling like he's helping, in some way, another kid makes him so proud.

On the upside, I wish my kids handled getting rid of things so well.  My oldest especially comes unglued about anything, he even freaked out about getting rid of the bassinet.

Amazingly enough she didn't even mention it at all yesterday and went to be just fine again last night.
