Big girl bed

We have been wanting to move Caroline to a big girl bed for some time now but she has not been interested until this weekend. On Saturday afternoon during her nap, Gary heard lots of commotion through the baby monitor. He decided to wait and see if she settled down. Before he could wait any longer, Caroline walked in the kitchen and said "Hi Daddy". To accomplish this feat, she had to climb out of her crib, open her bedroom door and walk downstairs. I believe she is ready for a big girl bed. Today we shopped for a mattress at Costco having already bought her bed on a super special at the Pottery Barn outlet last year. All was assembled by mid-afternoon and she was excited....until bedtime arrived. She did not want us to read books in her bed but rather in Anna's. Finally she told me that the bed was too big and she wanted to sleep in my bed instead. I asked her if I could lie down with her for a while and sing a few songs. She obliged and within 2 songs, she was snoring. Hopefully she will stay in her bed all night with Mermaid Dora there to proctect her. Only time will tell!!
