For some reason, yesterday evening, Mark and I thought it was time to get the toddler bed out of the attic and move Tirza from the crib to the big girl bed. We moved the other girls when they were younger, both times because a new baby was coming and we needed the crib. I have been dragging my feet about moving Tirza, she sleeps so good in the crib and she still seems so little to me.
Night one didn't go so good- she was very agreeable- everything was "okay mommy" but as soon as I left she would jump out of bed. The new found freedom was just to hard to resist. Luckily for me Heidi brought over a baby gate so she was confined to her own room. She tried to call her sisters in for support. First she tried Bria, "Briabre, come here, play with me." Then Sahara, "Sissy, wanna see me. Sa come see me, come here." So it ended with Tirza very mad back in her crib.
Round 2- Nap time. Lots of playing, she would open her door and call for Mommy and Daddy, then give up, close her door and go back to playing. Mark and I left to go get coffee, when we came back- she was asleep. Heidi had laid down with her and she feel right asleep. Yeah!
Round 3- Bed time. Still in progress but not going so good. So far we have been through calling, crying, daddy laying down with her (he feel asleep but she did NOT) and now she is back on her own still not sleeping.
Can she out last the parents?
Update: She did finally fall asleep, on her own and in the big bed about 10pm! Mark had to run out and get batteries for her birds (her birds are a little crib thing that make music and projects a show on the ceiling) apparently she is still VERY attached to the birds.
She looked so sweet all snuggled up with Cuddles her bear.
