You may have remembered me talking about starting the process of putting Anna in the Big Girl Bed. Well, when we originally started it took us two nights to realize trying to get her to sleep with her sister was not going to work. So we got a twin bed this past weekend and decided to start again. The first night she was very clear that she wanted to sleep in the crib. I said “o.k.” Then the second day at nap time, again she wanted her crib. By the second night (Tuesday) I put her in the big girl bed, and she did fine! No struggles, and did not get out once. Two nights and she is sleeping in her big girl bed! No power struggles, no in and out of the bed. It was wonderful. Remember it may take longer for some, it took a couple of weeks with Emily, but the process still involves no power struggle. You want to avoid a power struggle with a toddler, if you can help it.
