We have finally made the transition joining the ranks of girls with big beds. We're the lone holdouts since Mommy just couldn't face giving up her daughter's predicatable sleeping patterns... sort of like my own personal big wooden security blanket with railings. However, upon further discussion with Daddy, I had to admit that it would be a little awkward when Lydia has her first sleepover at 8 years of age and all of her little friends snuggle into their sleeping bags and Lydia turns around and climbs into her crib. Ahhh... we can no longer postpone the inevitable.
So we've had two weeks of talking up the big bed. A week of admonishment that she is NOT to get out of her big bed until Mommy or Daddy come to get her. And 1 day of bed assembly, including 2 trips to Ikea for the correct parts.
The result? First night a success! Only 2,185 nights to go (plus naptimes). I figure by the time she's 8 years old she can be trusted to exit her bed as necessary.
