Second midnight

Well the second night in a "big kids bed" went fairly good. She did wake up and go to the door and scream at about 4 am again. I got up and took her back to bed. I don't think she fell out of bed but then we did put an old quilt down for her to land on and two pillows. So I may have just not heard her fall. Anyways...

She was wide awake and not really wanting to sleep. But I got her to lay down. Singing wasn't getting her to sleep this time. So I just stayed with her. And finally she fell back to sleep just moments before I fell asleep.

And when she finally woke up this morning we had a visitor. I baby sat the neighbor's little boy. He is about 7 months older than Audrey. But I thought it was nice for them to finally play a little together. Though this may have not been the right time for her. She is just a touch moody with all this change going on around her.

So she threw a bit of a fit after a little while of having fun with him. We called grandma and she talked through her anger with my mom. She calmed down and came back down stairs to play and finish an episode of Dora.

This afternoon she had a very good nap, in her bed!

Then I decided that we needed to rearrange Audrey's room. So that the bigger bed would fit a little better. And she now has her own dresser. (YAY!!! Thank you so much!)

And tonight is the first night, with the new bed, that daddy hasn't put her down to sleep. And shall I say.....

SUCCESS!!!!!

I got her to bed with out much problems. She didn't even fuss when we changed into pj's. We found her binky and got a sippy and her bear. Got kisses from all her puppy dolls... and got tucked in. I said night night and left the room.

She cried a little but now all is quiet. I hope she is actually still in bed I suppose we shall see.

First Midnight...

Well for the most part the night went well...

At about 4 or 5 in the morning... (I didn't check the time. I was just really tired.) I heard a loud thud and then screaming. So I woke up Stu and went in to get Audrey. She was sitting on the floor just crying.

Unfortunately we had forgotten to put anything on the floor to soften a landing. But she calmed down fairly quickly after daddy found the binky. Daddy also placed some pillows on the ground in case she tried to fall off again. I stayed with her until she was basically asleep and then went back to bed my own self. She talked a little bit after I left but eventually went back to sleep.

When I went in to see her after she had been talking a little bit this morning, she got herself off the bed and seemed pretty okay with it all.

Though we just tried to get her to take a nap on the bed and she just sat there playing with her dolls until she felt it was time to be done. And I was just called in there because of her knocking on the door and asking to be let "Out".

So we shall have to figure out this whole napping thing all over again. But so far she doesn't hate the bed she just wants to use the tools to take it apart now.

The next step...

So my dad put up the big kid bed tonight for my little Audrey...

And we are sleeping our first night in a bed without bars.... :D A regular twin size bed. It is a big step for my little girl. And it took a bit of crying and saying bye bye to the old bed. And finally daddy to come lay down with her to get her to calm down and finally fall asleep. She had her old friends to sleep with and her regular baby blankets to sleep with... Her regular bed time music is playing. But as for tonight she still thinks she needs to be picked up off the bed to get down and "OUT!".

We shall see how the night goes... some times are better than others for the changing of things. But as for now it seems to be going fairly smooth-ish.

She was pretty hyper for a bit there. And didn't really understand what was going on. Until we took the old bed apart. Then she started to get a little nervous.

Here's to hoping that she sleeps well and likes her new bed. :D
