Big Girl Bed

As I mentioned before, we moved Emma into her big girl bed the Eve before her birthday. She has done fantastic at night but maybe the dark has kept her safely tucked away so far. Of course, she was up before daybreak this morning, got out of bed and headed into the hallway where I heard her and told her to come on in to our room. Hopefully this won't become a routine thing especially since she had no intention of going back to sleep. While nights have been good, naps have been another story. Today was the first day that I managed to get her to take a nap in her bed and that involved chasing her back into bed three times before I took her and put her in the pack and play. She wasn't too keen on that so I gave her the option of going back to her bed and that was that, she stayed put and fell asleep. It was a small victory but I'll take it! Hopefully we can get a nap in tomorrow as well. We were a little afraid at first that Emma would think the bed was a trampoline as evidenced in the photos below from the day we set up the bed. However, she has been great about not jumping on it and is excited to head off to bed at night. She is getting to be such a big girl!
