Kids are expensive!

I bought Hope a new pillow tonight. She was so excited! She still sleeps in her toddler bed (her crib is one of those that converts.) I decided since she will be 4 in November I should buy her new bedding( her crib converts to a full bed too). Alas, I have no money right now. So, we're doing it in increments. I bought her a new pillow and full sheet set. The pillow she had before was a baby pillow. She picked out the sheet set. It has princess crowns and ballet slippers on it. I tried to talk her into something a little easier to match like polka dots but she wasn't having it. My next step will be her bed rails, then a new mattress and comforter etc. I figure it will be about $550 or $600 when it is all said and done. Ridiculous! I hope she loves her bed because she is not getting a new one until she moves out.
