Sooooo at 3 years & 1 month old our sweet angel face was ready for a big girl bed. Emma Kate has always been a great sleeper which was the reason we hadn't pushed the issue. However, since becoming potty trained night time has been our hardest issue. No accidents in the day, totally good there. But at night she wasn't staying dry & wouldn't do a pull up. Brett asked her one day "Would you like a big girl bed?" Without hesitation said "Yes! And I won't go pee pee in a big girl bed." Well, okay then! Honestly, I know she wasn't intentionally wetting her crib, but I do believe she knew she was ready for the next step.
She was beyond excited for her bed to turn into a big bed & the pretty bedding. "It has roses on it like Beauty & the Beast" she stated. :)
So far things are going well she is calling us in the middle of the night/morning when she needs to go to the bathroom (bc we think she might get hurt trying to get off the tall bed & it's dark.) We also think the rule is in place that you don't just get out of your bed whatever you want. She has become quite the little staller for multiple reasons for us to come back up at night.
This was such a bittersweet event because truly Emma Kate's crib was the last baby item left. My mind raced back to when we were sleep training her walking around her nursery in circles trying to get her to fall asleep, rocking her with a bottle & laying her down in the crib, & seeing that sweet face after naps & in morning time.
Sleepy!
I couldn't resist sneaking in for sleeping pics. I love you, Emma Kate!! xoxo
