Emily's Big Girl Bed


Well, the day finally came when our daughter tried something daring, climbing out of her crib. Her attempt didn't go too well, she fell on her head. We thought that it would have scared her enough to not attempt that again. Not so. Today, during her nap she attempted to climb out. This time, not falling on her head. However, I did hear her in her room yelling, "Dan, I stuck!!" over and over. The DAN was getting more and more frantic. She was stuck alright, hanging upside down with her foot stuck between the rails on the outside.
So, we decided to take the big step and get her a toddler bed. Rather than jumping right into a really big girl bed, we opted for the teeny, tiny toddler bed. We made the evening trip to Wal-Mart and picked it up. Emily really had fun watching us put it together and trying to help.
When it finally got moved into her room and we put the mattress on it, then it was all good.
She climbed right on and tried it out.
It's the first night, she's been in her room with the door shut for 30 minutes and there's not a peep coming from her room. I even went outside to listen outside the window. Nothing.
It does seem too good to be true that she could have gone right to sleep??? Tune in tomorrow....
