Well, last week Miss E decided that naps were for the birds. This was not ideal for us because of course, there's a new addition coming into the house and we all will need our sleep then!
While trying to determine what we should do, we decided that it was time to turn her crib into a toddler bed. She already had a true toddler bed in the room but we thought we'd give her a choice of which one to sleep in. The first "nap" time turned into a party fest. We let it last two hours on Saturday and she promptly fell asleep in the car later!
Saturday evening she played for about an hour and a half and then I heard these beautiful words "night night" and then silence. She had crawled into her bed and fell asleep. It lasted until about midnight when she awoke and became a little frightened not knowing exactly where she was. No biggie, we understood that this would take time.
Sunday at nap it was party fest again - but only for an hour. An hour into the party there was sudden silence!!! She fell asleep in her bed - again! SUCCESS!!! And Sunday night she slept through the night and slept in later than she ever did in her crib!
Yesterday was the EXACT SAME THING! I'm sure she will still have her moments, but she seems to be sleeping so much better in the toddler bed than she has for a while in her crib. I guess it was just time.
My baby is growing up. Can I be happy and sad at the same time?
