Bye Bye Crib

Okay, I admit it....I WAS NOT READY to take the crib down and move on from the baby stage!! I am so sad that the crib will be gone forever!!! Plus, why ruin a good thing??? She sleeps SO well in her crib and no new little family member is coming behind her to push her out as before!! Well, I had a weak moment yesterday and finally gave in to it. It didn't help that her daddy had assembled the toddler bed several weeks ago and left it in the garage for her to gaze at and tell everyone she sees "I Dora bed!" After a little nudge yesterday by a dear friend (who will remain nameless!) she said, "Michelle, she is two!" OK, OK, I will do it!! Of course I didn't have to say it twice to Scott and he had the bed in place in a flash! Well, I must say it was pretty uneventful. She cried at first because to her it was just a playplace that she had just been jumping on with Luke an hour before!!!:) Scott laid down with her for about 5 minutes and we only went in once to a cry that ended up nothing. She even slept in until her normal wake time! Quiet night...we'll see how nap goes. Never quite as easy when it is light out and you see all your toys in your room!!!:)


PS***It is now naptime and I have to tell you that she is such a good girl!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is making this SO much easier on her poor mommy! I laid with her for a few minutes and kept peeking in on her after that. She never got out of bed and was very quiet. Not long after she fell asleep! Hopefully she sleeps her normal length naptime. And to think I doubted her!!!!:)
