Big Girl Bed!

We have known for quite some time that we would eventually have to convert Victoria into a big girl bed. I wanted to delay it for as long as possible. The idea of my little one roaming the house in the middle of the night petrified me. As well, we have a great bed time routine, and she goes down SO easily...I didn't want to jinx that.

Then this happened: http://victoriawirtz.shutterfly.com/videos/3

Granted, she wasn't crawling out of her bed...but I am sure it was close behind. I didn't want to risk her getting hurt, so we did it....we converted our baby girls crib into a big girls bed. It was that last piece of the puzzle to seal it...she's officially a big girl!!!

So, on May 13th, we had to start a new routine.  We must first "Cuddle Wa-Wa" in Mommy and Daddy's room. We then slowly transition into Victoria's room. We say prayers, read "Llama Llama Misses Mama" and "Llama Llama Red Pajama", sing a few songs and then say our goodnights.  Of course, we usually have to lay our heads down next to her for a few minutes too.  But she has done fantastic with this new transition.  She only cried and fell out of bed the first night...and now she does great :)  Another thing she has handled with grace, and we couldn't be more proud of her!

I need to caputure her night time routine on video.  Listening to her say her prayers, read along in the books and sing songs is SO ADORABLE!!!!
