1. Remove Pacifier
2. Move her to a big bed
3. Potty Train (left the worst for the last and will start after 4th of July)
She LOVES her big girl bed! The first week went off without a hitch, then after the first weekend, she reverted....ugh! The first bad night was 4 hours of walking her back to her bed and tucking her in. The second bad night was 2 hours of walking her back to her bed and tucking her in. Now she will stay in her bed 70% of the nights and the other 30% have been about 1-2 hours of walking her back to bed or listening to her open and close her door to see if we are there. We've been just going on with our regular routine after she is put down to bed and sometimes she comes and finds us and other times she will just cry at her door or in the hallway. Last night she fell asleep in the hallway and I startled her when I walked in, but after that she was in bed for the night. I've heard it gets better so we'll see. All in all, 70% of her staying in her bed for the night is better than nothing. The good thing is that she doesn't have a problem with staying at my Mom's or Blair's Mom's house. She might get up once, but that's it. She also goes down easier for a nap with our nanny and our moms...go figure.
Here is her room converted into a big girl room. It took me one day to move the furniture and organize it all.
First time seeing her big girl room. Notice the big bump in the bed...it's a large pool noodle to keep her from rolling out of the bed at night and it's worked so far.
She was so excited to get a big girl bed so all her "friends" could fit. She now has about 12 stuffed animals or babies in her bed. Hey, whatever it takes to keep her in bed and comfortable.
On to Transition 3, the last of the big ones...potty training. We will begin this after 4th of July since she needs to know how to dress and undress by herself and be potty trained by the beginning of school in early September (we got a letter stating this in the mail from the school). Wish us luck!!
