The Big Girl Bed

Hi Sidra,

We have moved you to the big girl bed. We have been thinking about it for a while and thought you were ready but were waiting until after our guests had been here. That was about the fact that we wanted to have two beds in the guest room. Now we've moved the beds around so you have the twin bed in your room and the crib went to the guest room.

Anyway, as I write this you are completing your second night in the big girl bed. It must be working well because you've done two nights in a row spending the whole night in your bed. Well, yesterday you didn't stay in your bed until you got up because your mom needed to go get you and bring you into bed with her about 7 in the morning. See, when you were sleeping in your crib, every night you would wake up and call for us to come get you. We've wondered if in the big girl bed you would just get up and come in to our room. But, so far you haven't.

We've also worried that you won't stay in bed when it's time to go to bed. The first night was a challenge but you did pretty good and last night you were really tired because you didn't nap yesterday.

You have been pretty excited about the whole thing. Yesterday you were actually playing some pretend games with the bed. We are also trying to get you on schedule for getting up in time for pre school soon. So,
because of that, I need to finish this and wake you up.

Love, aba
