new bed nights 2 and 3

Monday - FAIL #2. Yeah, didn't happen again. Did our usual lay on the big bed together and read "Bubbles Bubbles" and "At the Zoo" and then her Elmo gets his big-boy bed book. Then we did prayers. Next, I tried to move her to the lower trundle and she instead whined for the crib. I put her in the crib and then she completely lost it when I pushed the trundle under and refused to do "Mommy Night Night" time in the big bed again. I explained that we already did all that and now it was time to go to sleep. Cue 20 minute scream-fest. Poor baby. :(

Tuesday - Success! This time we did "Mommy Night Night" time on the lower bed. Read all 3 books again. Pointed out the similarities to her between Elmo getting a big new bed and Sydney's new bed. Then we did prayers. That was the first 10 mins. Over the next 10 minutes, I moved to the glider to rock. Sydney was up and checking out the new doorknob (baby-proof thing-a-ma-jig). Sydney tried to climb to the upper bed. Sydney walked over to me and asked to go in the crib. I stayed consistent in pointing out Sydney's new bed and that she needed to lay back down.

The final 15 minutes, I just sat and rocked while Sydney settled into sleep on her bed. Ahhhhhh... Good girl. That was 2 hours ago. I haven't been up to check on her, but I haven't heard anything concerning on the monitor. It's a good night. A few more of these under our belt and I will feel better about moving Annabelle into the crib without Sydney freaking over that.
