Big Girl Bed

A couple of weeks ago Maggie decided to start climbing out if her crib, so we decided to switch her to a toddler bed even though we thought she was still too young. The first couple of nights weren't terrible. It took us a while to get her to sleep and she woke up a couple of times during the night, but everyone still got enough sleep. We didn't time this switch very well because after only two nights of the new bed me and Eric left for a weekend in Gatlinburg and Maggie spent the weekend sleeping in a pack-n-play. But Sunday we finally came home and got her right back on track. She came home and got in her little bed and hasn't looked back since. When it's time to go to bed or take a nap we just go up to her room and I put her on the bed and walk out...sometimes she will get up and come to the door and whine for a little bit, but she will finally just go get back in bed and go to sleep. I can't believe it has been this easy! The only thing is we have to close her door and put a baby gate up behind it because if she wakes up she likes to roam. But she has had no problem putting herself back to sleep! I wasn't going to get her some toddler bedding until I knew we wouldn't be switching back to the crib...but it looks like I need to go shopping!
