Big Girl Bed!

This weekend we finally put Paige's new toddler bed together and started the transition from the crib. We bought the bed several weeks ago, but were holding off as long as we could because she was doing so well with the bedtime routine lately. Then on Friday she had to stay home from daycare because she was covered in hives (I'll update more on that later) and she was refusing to take a nap for me in her crib. I heard a lot of banging around and went up to peak in on her and she was sitting on top of the side rail straddling it. She made it up and was a little scared on the descent. At least she wasn't falling out head first. I think she was just strategically figuring it out when I got in there.

So that night we set up the bed and she did wonderfully! It takes us a little longer than usual to get her to lay down, but once she's in the bed, she's been good for the night. Sunday night she woke up crying at about 11:30pm, so Justin went up there and laid with her for awhile until she was ok with going back in. It's been going a lot better than I had thought.

Here's a picture of her bed and new Dora bedding. The crib is still in the room as well. We will probably take it down in the next few days. Just kept it in there in case of emergency :)
