Oh the terror??

The BIG girl bed

The words "big girl bed", used to make me want to lose all bladder control. seriously. I would contemplate moving Abbey so that I could decorate her room for a big girl. Then I would remind myself that my child was sleeping like a dream in her crib. Why did I want to mess with a good thing?!

Well two days ago I went to Dani's Duds . I found a beautiful BRAND NEW oak toddler bed for 65$. BINGO. I dreamed all night long about Abbey's pretty new bed in her room with her newly refinished furniture. As I took my bed and the rest of my treasure out to my car I could see the other Moms eyeing my bed. It was a steal.

I bring it home Joseph loves it. Abbey wakes up yesterday morning and sees the bed. She loves it. She lays on it, sniffs it, pats it lovingly, they were instant friends. Joseph takes the crib down and places the new bed into her room, places her pretty sheets and blanket on the bed.

I freeze. WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

Naptime arrives. *thankfully we have a dual video monitor* I stare at the monitor wondering what is going to happen when Daddy leaves the room. I hear her scream "AMEN!" in her normal fashion and I think to myself "here goes nothing".
I stared intently at the monitor. She cried out 1 time folks. 1 time. She never left the bed. She peacefully slept for 2.5hrs. Woke up and never got off the bed. She simply looked up at the camera and said "Mom I just awake".

Bliss.

Bedtime was even better. She never even cried out.

My child is MENSA, seriously.

Now let's see how today goes.
