(Insert mental image of me doing my Dora Dance here (if you dare).)
First night in big girl bed: successful (with a little help from our friend Benedryl)! Fell asleep easily with dad, didn't wake when he left, didn't wake when I snuck in to spy on her. DID wake at her ridiculously early usual 5:30, but woke happy and calm...she just walked over to her door, which sticks a little so she can't open it, yelped a little, and when I came in her room climbed back into bed with me and snuggled a little. So happy for her!(And because I'm compulsive like that and didn't realize the black flowered bedspread also had red and blue dots on it, not just yellow...new bedspread too. I love Target so much. It doesn't look this nice yet because the mattress is just sitting on the floor, but you get the idea.)

Congratulations on a successful night! Hopefully there will be many more to come.
Yea Lucy - definitely hope this is the first of many to come! Glad the first night went so well, you deserved it!
Yay! This is how we transitioned Addy (we did take down her crib since we had to use her crib for the headboard for her new bed but she had zero attachments to her crib). She's been in her big girl bed for over six months and we still lay with her, leave when she's asleep after a few minutes (sometimes we leave when she's awake) and it all works fine. She never tries to get up though, which can be annoying. she still wants someone to come get her out of bed. she's not much of a morning person, never has been. like her mama :)
hope tonight goes just as well, benadryl-free! LOL
Wow, that went really well! Love the new bedspread too.
Hurray! It's such a huge change - and yes absolutely, for me the mornings were the hardest. Adjusting to the fact that they can get to me.
Way to go Lucy! I'm impressed. I'll be coming to you for tips when our time comes.
Love the new bedding! Yay for a good first night!
We use a toddler rail that fits between the mattresses to secure it and then flips up and down for in and out of the bed. Cody tosses an turns and sometimes mashes himself into the railing (mesh and tubes) so it's definitely good to have it in place.
