Grace slept in her big girl bed for the first time last night! She looked so little; I really wanted to take a picture but I didn't want to risk waking her up.
We had bought a little toddler bed for her recently but she got really upset when tried to settle her into it for bedtime so she ended up back in her crib. My mom thought maybe Grace was associating it with a broken crib rather than an actual bed. It sounds funny, but when she mentioned it, it did make sense. We still have the crib in her room so the toddler bed looked so small next to it.
Zilla and Grampers brought a twin size bed over for Grace to use. We set it up and she was very excited to climb in! After she had her bath, we decided we'd read our bedtime stories in the bed and then see if she would sleep there. B laid with her for a little while after we turned the lights out, and she fell asleep shortly after. She slept through the whole night! I woke up this morning to hear "Mommy?" and I went in and she was just sitting in the middle of the bed. I asked if she liked sleeping in the big bed and she said "Yeah! Come in Mommy!" We snuggled in her bed for a little while before getting up for the day.
She is napping in the big bed as I type this. She took a little longer to settle, but I expected that because it's not as dark in her room. She tried to open the door a few times but she wasn't upset so I let her play in there for a bit; I could hear her talking to Dolly and Bear. I just went to check on her and she's asleep, in the bed! I won't consider this transition complete yet, of course, but we're off to a good start!
