For the past several nights, Little Miss Independent has been having a fit when it's time for bed. She keeps pointing at Nolan's bed and says, "Livi's bed" and then points to her crib and says, "baby bed." So, despite her small size and that fact that Mama wasn't quite ready, we decided to take the plunge into Livi's very own big girl bed. We decided to move Nolan into a full bed we had in storage and give Livi Nolan's old twin bed. Grandma Patti had given Olivia an ice cream cone comforter and sheets for Christmas, and Livi was so excited about the ice cream cone pillow. She kept trying to take a big bite out of it.
When she climbed into bed for the first time, she grabbed all her stuffed animals and moved them to the foot of her bed; the same place they were kept in her crib. As bedtime approached, her enthusiasm waned and after 4 hours of trying to get her to go to bed, I ended up crawling into bed with her for the night. After a groggy morning, I fully expected naptime was going to be a disaster. I put her back in her bed, read her books, gave her a kiss and left. She cried for about 2 minutes and then put herself to sleep for a nice two hour nap. We did the same routine at bedtime and she did the same - cried for a minute or two and then went to sleep. It's so hard to believe that my baby really isn't a baby anymore! Time goes so fast.
