Speaking of our little princess growing up fast, last night we setup Emma’s toddler bed. We’re pretty sure she could have climbed out of her crib at any point, so we figured it was time to move on to a big girl bed.
She got pretty excited when I asked her if we should setup a big girl bed for her. Her big brother got even more excited about it. They both helped put it together. Braden had to help set it up by putting a pillow on it. Once we got it setup, Emma got her Boo Bunny, laid down and ‘went to sleep.’ Then she hopped up and turned off her light and went ‘back to sleep.’ We were even brave enough, at this point, to take down her crib!
Then it deteriorated into a monkey fest. Both kids spent an hour climbing over the side, then jumping off. They had a lot of fun, but 
Bedtime came and we asked Emma if she was ready to climb into her big girl bed. She practically flew up the stairs! Story time went good, and Kathie had to sit with her for about 5 or 10 minutes to get her to calm down and stay in the bed. We heard her on the monitor for about 10 or 15 minutes more. But after that, she slept through the night and didn’t (as far as we know) get up and wander the house or make any midnight snacks.
Personally, I think we’ve been very lucky! Braden was the same way. As soon as we put him in the new bed, he just stayed in it and we had no problems. We’ll see if it continues with Emma.
