Ellie’s been taking naps in her new toddler bed, but we haven’t been brave enough to have her sleep all night in it yet. For the last week, she has been deciding to go to bed in her bed, without rocking, and has laid down beautifully around 8:30 or 9:00 and gone to bed. What a big girl she’s getting to be!
Last night when she decided she was ready to go to sleep, she chases me into her room and says “big girl bed”, so we let her crawl up into it. She laid down and went right to sleep, and I haven’t heard anything out of her yet this morning.
I’m so proud of her…and kind-of sad that perhaps our rocking days have come to an end…good thing she’ll have a sibling in two months to pick up that slack.
I never thought i was that kind of a mom…wanting to hold on to the little-ness. I guess she proves me wrong again. We’re going to blame the sappiness on being pregnant.

Do she and Cookie always sleep in the same positions?

Becky:
I hadn’t noticed that aspect of the photo before and now I find it hilarious.
I’m pretty sure the answer to your question is no…considering one morning I found her lying on top of cookie monster. Sad news was, she had peed through her diaper that night…onto cookie. I wasn’t sure he was coming back after that…but the lasting power of a childhood friend and a good cleaning product proves me wrong!
