Audrey: Such a big girl with her new big girl bed.
Two days ago we put away the cot and moved Audrey to a big girl bed. We were both expecting the worst and braced ourselves for a few tough nights but so far she's taken to it like a dream! I stick to pretty strict bedtime/nap-time routines that have, for months and months, served as Audrey's sleep cues. When we go through the motions of our sleep routine then she knows that it's time to sleep, and sleep she does!! I'm so proud of her. So far, she hasn't figured out that she can climb down off the bed after a sleep on her own so she calls me into the room to come get her. "Maaaaama!! Maaaaamaaa!" It's very sweet. Long may it last.

how sweet! i am dreading the switch from the crib to a bed. and thinking it may come soon... hoping it goes as well for us as it has for you.

My toddler went for a good eight or so months in his big boy bed before figuring out the fact that he could actually climb out of bed himself. The funny thing was that he would get on and off his bed throughout the day as he played, but didn't connect that with bedtime!
ReplyDeleteMy little Olive has just moved into a big bed too. She's already moved the thing around the room so she can climb the wardrobes! Seriously. My children are nut cases- sleep time routines are strict here too ;)
