Emma's Toddler Bed

So Emma was starting to try and climb in her crib when it was time for naps and bed time (but never out of it) so we started thinking that maybe it was time to try changing it over to a toddler bed again. Our first attempt at this didn't go very well and Rich had to make it back into a crib before she would go to bed for the night. But this time I had a new plan.

Nana was coming over to spend the night since the kids were not going with her for the weekend, and Colin had invited her down. She would be sleeping in Emma's room in the spare bed so I thought that Emma would like this and stay in her toddler bed for the night. Well, that isn't quite how it went down. For that night Nana slept with Colin in the spare bed in Emma's room, Rich slept in Colin's bed and Emma slept with me in my bed!

Day 2 worked out better though, Emma took her nap in the toddler bed, she was a little upset that there was a part missing (where the crib front use to be) but I put a pillow there and she was just fine! She slept in there for her nap!!! Yay!!!

So we are going on a week now since we changed her over to the toddler bed and she is loving it!! She still won't get out of bed when she wakes up, she lays there and either cries or yells until someone comes to get her, but we are working on that. Rich and I were so hoping that she would be a little more like Colin and just come into our room in the mornings when she wakes up, but she just isn't ready for that yet. She is also different in the fact that she will not sleep if her door is not shut and it has to be shut all of the way! Unfortunately she has the room with the door that sticks, so it doesn't make it very easy for her!

But I love how she gets in bed all by herself now! She even tries to make her bed every morning and after her naps!
