. VG .: Baby Girl in her Big Girl bed!

On Saturday's we decided that we are going to start spending the night at my parents because we are there for dinner and then we go to church in GR so it just makes sense! However, the only reason why we never did before was because Lucy didn't sleep so well over night there... :( Since Holly and her family moved out the entire upstairs is unoccupied, so we thought that this would be a good time to try her on a big girl bed. Tristan's toddler bed that he used was still at my parents from when we lived there so we just brought the mattress and was going to get her all set up. :)

Our plan was to give her a nap, but not as long as she normally takes. And then we were going to run her into the ground so by the time it was time for sleeping she would be so tired she wouldn't worry about sleeping by herself. I think the biggest part of the problem was she hated the pack n play and we figured if we could get her out of there then she would be more about it. We. Were. Right. In a major way! :)

We waited til it was her nap time to drive to GR and then we hit up the Children's museum. That means she was going to get less than a 45 min nap, which is a lot less than she normally gets, but still a little bit. They had a BLAST at the CM of course. Then, they played really hard at Mom and Dad's too. Unfortunately, we had left the hardware to the bed frame at our place (because we moved that for some reason without the bed) so we just put the mattress on the floor. We also kind of figured that would be good in case she rolled out.

She started to crash and burn so Gaetan put her in her bed, with her blankie and Dino and came downstairs. I was worried that she was going to get up and bang/open the door and cry, but she didn't make a peep. It was unreal. She really just passed out and stayed in her bed the entire night until 9 the next morning! We were thrilled! Big time success!

Since then we have just been keeping up with it. The end goal was to get her used to sleeping in the bottom bunk of Tristan's bunk beds for when #3 arrived. So Sunday night we just put her in his bottom bunk and she was down with it. No fussing, no crying or trying to get up. It was amazing. And Dude did really well with having her in his bottom bunk. He was really good and didn't make a bunch of noise to wake her up. :) Happy parents here. This has also continued on for naptime, which she is doing really well with. I can't believe how easy this transition has been for her! This is definitely a big turn around because this will make traveling a lot easier and less things to pack! We are so proud of her and she is really excited that she is can sleep in a big girl bed in Big Brother's room. :)
