Big Girl Bed Transition - Update

It's been one week since we moved Maddie from her crib in her old room into a new bedroom with a new bed.

I'm happy to say that things have been going quite well. The first night did not go well and after 5-6 attempts at keeping Maddie in her new bed, we gave up and put her back into her crib.

By night 2, Eric and I decided to approach the bedroom transition the same way we did with sleep training. There would be tears from Maddie and me, but we'd get through it and be thankful we did it.

The rest of the week went very well. Maddie only cried for 5 mins or less on days 2 and 3 and hasn't cried since.

Nap times have been an entirely differnt experience and it has taken her up to one hr for her to fall asleep. But, she doesn't cry. She just plays in her room until she falls asleep - sometimes on the floor.

As we head into another week, I hope this sleep transition continues to go as smoothly as it has.
