We bought Brooklyn a bedroom set back in October and have been saving it because she still slept so well in her crib, but two weeks ago we bought a mattress for the bed and decided to just go for it. I had heard horror stories by parents about switching their toddler over so I was a little nervouse, but from the very first night SHE LOVED IT!! I may have cried a little when we were setting it up and moving the crib to the babies room and while seeing her sleep in a big girl bed for the first time, because I really don't want my baby to grow up! :( But with Brett's uplifting words I realized that it's part of life and that it should be more of a happy time. I can't imagine what I'm going to be like the first time she goes to school! AHHH!
I had made her a patch quilt and she was always helping me with it, so she was excited when we got to put on her new bed. She always nuzzled her head up against her crib bumpers so I thought it would be a good idea to stuff some pillows against the headboard and the wall so it would feel kind of the same. It's always fun to go in to check on her and find her in different positions (she was always a wild sleeper in her crib). And being the paranoid mom that I am, since she never liked to sleep with covers on I would always put her in a onsie and fleece footie pajamas, which I think when we switched her to her new bed she was climbing out of her covers to fall asleep cause she was too hot.
Naps lately have been kind of a struggle. Of course she couldn't 100% love to sleep in her bed 100% of the time, but for the most part she has done/ is doing great and we couldn't be more proud of her!!
Here are some pictures we've gotten of her in her new bed during the last few weeks..
Brett thinks I'm so weird, but I had to get a picture of her sleeping in her crib for the last time.
