Big Girl Bed

For the past two weeks or so Molly has not wanted to sleep in her crib. She cries to sleep in Heidi’s bed or Mommy’s bed and when that wasn't a possibility she opted to sleep with her crib mattress on the floor. So we decided it was time for a real big girl bed. On Saturday she and Casey went shopping for a mattress and went and got the headboard and footboard out of storage and set her up. She and I went shopping for sheets later that afternoon and she picked out these “polkies” (polk a dots).

I had given her a pep talk a week prior about big girls in big girl beds don’t use a binky but we hadn’t really talked about it much since then. I didn’t mention it and she didn’t ask. We are binky free as easy as that! It’s been five nights and five naps and even a sleepover and gramma’s. She’s asked a couple of times and I remind her that big girls don’t have binkies and she just says “Oh.” and that’s it. Yea! Wow! I NEVER would have guessed this.

Now if only potty training were as easy. She isn't really into that…at all.
