Big Girl Bed

To be or not to be? Oh, Carla, the timing, terrible timing. Carla crawled out of the crib last week when she didn't want to nap, for the first time ever. And then another oh, 5x that day (once after she actually slept for her nap, and then 4 more times when it was bed time). So we busted out the big-girl toddler bed that night. As you can imagine, since she isn't even quite 2 yet, this has been a challenge since that night. She sleeps through the night once she is asleep in there -- major bonus. Though getting her to sleep in there is another thing...stroller and car rides and slipping her in bed asleep works, but it's certainly not a permanent solution. Also, with all the time we've been away from home in the last few days, she has had several complete naps in the car. She's really relaxed with the whole nap/bedtime regimen, but when it is time to say goodnight, she totally freaks out! You can probably hear her screaming and banging from down the street. Well, anyway, that was a long explanation of this snuggly photo. This was after some afternoon non-nap screaming, falling asleep on the potty, and then in my arms.
