C.J is getting to big for his bassinet so we had to decide if we were going to get another crib or try to take Brylee out of hers. We thought Brylee might still be a little to young to understand she needed to stay in bed. Well my Grandma and Grandpa Blau said they had a toddler bed we could have if we wanted it. So we decided we would try and if it didn't work out we would just have to get another crib.
After we put the bed together we showed it to Brylee. She seemed excited about it. She crawled into it and even jumped up and down on it. Well then came bed time. We read her a book, said
our prayers and off to bed she went. Justin and I expected to have to put her back in bed at least a few times, but after about fifteen minutes Justin went to check on her and she was sound asleep. Not once did we have to put her back in bed. She slept through the night till ten the next morning. Great right. Well next came the challenge of nap time. She tends to fight me a little more often at nap time. So I laid her down and explained that it was time for her nap and that she needed to stay in bed. A few minutes later I heard her up playing. I went and put her back in bed and told her she needed to stay in bed. Again a few minutes later I heard her playing. This time as soon as she saw me she ran and got back into bed. It took a couple more times of her running back to bed but she finally stayed and took her nap.
Right now we are attempting night two. So far so good. She has been in bed for over an hour and hasn't got out once. She is sound asleep. Lets hope the pattern stays so that in a week or so we can move C.J in to the crib. Wish us luck.
