Day 87

Today I decided that someone else surpassed the 'Monday Me' theme.  So, instead of getting a picture of me, I went with this one...and let me tell you why.  Our daughter, for some reason, never took to climbing out of her bed.  We did have it very low and it was pretty difficult to get in and out of, but still, she never attempted it.  So, we never converted it for her.  But, all along, we've told her that when she's a big girl, goes to the potty and wears big girl panties, we would 'open' her bed. 

This weekend, she blew me away.  She just decided for herself that the time was now.  She'll just be playing babies, announce, 'Oh, I have to go potty', run into the bathroom and go.  I'm shocked, surprised, and SO proud of my little girl.  And just as we promised, I opened her bed tonight.  She was thrilled beyond belief (but that also means that now I have to deal with her coming out of her room every 5 minutes).  There's always something, right?!  I just can't say enough of what a proud momma I am!!!  Here's to our big girl!

    That is exciting! Brayden's arrival set Delia back but finally we are back on! Hang in there! She may surprise you about staying in the bed too!

    She is so excited, it's too cute. Yay for going in the potty. I know my friends ended up putting a lock on the door becasue their 2 1/2 year old would come out in the middle of the night and start playing. So they just made his room extra safe and put a monitor in there and locked him in. It only took a few nights and then he never tried to get out again and they quit locking him in. It sounds so horrible, but they said it made them feel better knowing he couldn't roam the house.

    Chelsea,

    1) SUPER cute picture of her - I love the little smirk on her face!

    2) How cool that she just decided she was ready! I don't think we're nearly ready at our house, but maybe I'm underestimating my son.

    3) My experience with transitioning LA to a big boy bed was that it took about a week of training him to not get out of bed for naps and nighttime, and now he does great with it. Perhaps it will work the same way for you, although I know every child is different:)

    4) I'm curious - are our children close in age? LA will be 3 in May.
