A Big Girl Bed

It's official, I have a big girl on my hands. Emme is no longer a baby in my book and she seems to assert that fact every day more and more. Recently, we had to move her into a big girl toddler bed since the crib was no longer an option. Every night she would scream bloody murder if she woke up in the crib and we weren't in there. She really put her foot down that she was not taking the crib thing anymore and I was kind of at a loss at what to do. It was either she sleeps with us or her own little bed so I thought I didn't have anything to lose on trying out the toddler bed. It's actually turned out to be the best decision. I kind of fretted over it for a bit because she is still young and they say not to rush your kid out of the crib but since she wasn't cooperating with the crib, I said what the heck, we haven't anything to lose and we will give it a shot.

She has slept really good in her new bed and when she wakes up, we usually just go in there and she goes right back to sleep. She comes in our room here and there but if we just walk her back into her bed, she is usually very good about it. It just goes to show you that when your kid is ready for something, they will let you know and there really isn't any strick guideline you should follow on anything. Every child is different and you should just do what you think is right for your little one. We are on to potty training next because she is telling me now on a daily basis when she has gone potty in her diaper, what a little grown up I have already!
