Big Night for our Big Girl...

Well, last week sometime, Lauren finally figured out how to climb out of her crib. Todd heard a funny noise in her room, and when he went to check on her, she was standing in the doorway of her bedroom. Fortunately, her bed converts to a toddler bed. Our hope is that this is the first transition step to a real "big girl bed" in time for her sibling to arrive. Then perhaps she won't think of the crib as her bed still...fingers and toes are all crossed on that front!

So....last night we converted the bed. She was ok with it until it was time to go bed, and our child that fears change was suddenly very upset. BUT, after a break from the drama watching the Muppets Christmas special in Mommy and Daddy's bed, we brought her back to her room and after just moments (literally) of crying and one futile attempt to get out, she slept all night in her new bed. In fact, this morning we heard her talking to herself, and found her sitting right in the middle of the bed, not even trying to climb down.
