Yesterday afternoon, Frank started moving the baby furniture (crib, changing table, rocking chair) to the guest room (which is becoming Lincoln's nursery) and we transformed Little's room to a big girl room. Let me say, though, there is nothing much in her room. We were afraid that she would be too tempted to get out of bed and play if she had things in there, so we kept it simple. She just has her couch and her bed. As far as the bed is concerned, we took the full size bed that was already in there and removed the frame and box springs. So, her mattress is just on the floor and when it's time to sleep, we position the pillows from her bed around the mattress just in case she rolls off. We purposely didn't use rails because this little girl is a climber. We were afraid that rails would just tempt her to climb over and cause a fall.
So, we put her to bed and waited, impatiently, for any little noises. But to our surprise, she was quiet. After about 30 minutes, she talked for about 5 minutes, so we went to check but she was just sitting in the same spot we left her in and talking. We told her to go to sleep and she smiled really big and waved at us as we left her room. We didn't hear from her again until 8:45 AM, and when I went to get her, she was still laying in the same place we left her.
We were worried about naps, but right now she is down for her first nap in her big girl bed, and so far so good. She was excited to get in it, too. I don't know if I should be happy or cry about all this. :) I might just do both.
