Time flies! It’s been almost two weeks since we converted our daughter’s crib to a toddler bed
which I wrote about here and now I’m giving you an update on how she did.
Our baby girl did so well! She was helping Daddy put her “new big girl bed” together which was fun for her to see how the bed was being changed. When the toddler bed was finished, the first thing she did was climb on it all by herself and she was SO PROUD. She was so excited that she was able to climb up and, even more fun, down the bed all by herself! I really think she feels like a “big girl” now. It was really fun watching her go up and down the bed so many times.
During the first week, she fell off the toddler bed twice and another time just her legs fell off. It’s a good thing the bed is quite low to the ground and we had put a pillow there so she was not hurt at all. For the second week, she didn’t fall out at all so I think she caught on pretty quickly. The most surprising thing of all is that she has not gotten off her bed when she wakes up or when she wants something before falling asleep (like water or go to the washroom), she still just calls us. So we haven’t woken up with a little face beside ours yet nor have we been surprised by a little person coming down the stairs when she should be sleeping. :)
Overall, I think she loves the new set up and has continued to sleep very well through the night without much problems from the conversion of the bed. She’s almost two and a half so not sure if it was just the right timing or what but we are so thankful that this was a non-stressful transition!!
Counting our lucky stars!
