trial run

So yesterday I had quests over and had put Abbey down for her nap so I could foil Auntie Diane's hair. Abbey took her normal nap and when I went to get her up I found her laying on top of her changing table (picture below)

She was yelling help because she didn't know how to get back into her bed. So I asked some of my mommy friends on Facebook if I should make her bed into a toddler bed or keep it the same. Andrew and I talked about it and came to the conclusion that if it was not a good time we could always put the rail back on. So trial run... I got Abbey all ready for bed, and before we started our nightly routine I got on my knees and looked in Abbey's eyes. I said "Abbey this is your new Big Girl Bed, mommy or daddy will put you in your new bed and get you out, if you need us just call us!" We followed our routine and I put her in her bed; and she STAYED in her bed all night! I'm so proud of my Big baby girl. Makes a mommy sad when this day comes that your baby is no longer in a crib.
