Time for the Big Bed
In Little Bit's room we've had a twin bed mattress on the floor, in addition to her crib, since we moved into this house in October. Over the past two months or so she has started expressing interest in sleeping in it, but it wasn't something Daddy-O and I thought would be a good idea. "It's too soon," we thought.
Well, since we've been trying to spruce up the room, we went ahead and bought a twin frame and mattress set and put it in the room. Little Bit was soooo excited about it. I do believe she has asked before every nap and every bedtime if she could sleep in it.
She wore us down.
Today is her first time sleeping outside of her crib without somebody sleeping by her side. We went through our usual routine: change into a diaper, sing a few songs, then say "night-night" to everyone. It took her a little longer to settle down, but by the quietness in her room I would guess that she's peacefully sleeping now.
I'm dying to go in and take a picture but I don't know if I should risk waking her up. Maybe in a little while. :)
In the meantime, I just can't get over how proud I am of her at this very moment. She's such a big girl and is so confident in herself. I know that not every milestone she faces in her childhood will go this smoothly. But today, she has secured my respect and complete admiration.

congrats! that's how we transitioned our eldest too. we had put twin beds on the floor and she just wanted to sleep in them one day!
yay!
happy weekend!
We just made this transition about 2 weeks ago, and it was a bit terrifying at first. But Emily got it right away. Now the only problem is that we need to change our adult bedtime to somewhere around 8:30 in order to get enough sleep! (only a slight exaggeration there...) :) I hope you get plenty of rest with the change!
