Well, more like a crib converted to a toddler bed with a bed rail on it-that makes it pretty much still a crib except for the 5 inches of space where she can get in and out herself! Last night was her first night and she was very, very excited. Before she went to sleep we told her that when she woke up (at the crack of dawn as she usually does) she could get out of bed on her own and get some books and get back into her bed to read, or go to her table and color, but she shouldn't scream for us or come in and wake us up just yet. She agreed to this. :)
This morning at about 7:15 I heard some rustling around but wasn't sure if she was really awake yet and didn't want to wake her if not. I went and peeked into her room and there she was, sitting on her bed reading a book and sucking on that binky of course. Oh yeah, in the dark. I forgot about that part, that she can't turn on the light herself! Ha ha. Well, she had listened to us and it was the cutest thing to see. That didn't last longer than a minute from me catching her because then she had to get out of course. Fingers crossed that tonight and from now on it will be just as easy!?

Way to go Eliza!! We leave Cam's blind open a crack so he can see a little, though not too much, in the morning. I hope it continues to go smoothly!
Hi Eliza, it's Por Por. You are such a big girl now and I hope you love sleeping in your new bed. I love you.

Aw, what a big girl! We had a good first night with the big-girl bed, and then the next week or so was filled with dozens of trips putting her back to bed, after she figured out what freedom she had! It's getting better again now, though, and she's napped in her new bed several times, so all is not lost. Hope you have good luck with it, too!
If only her and I could have more sleepovers! She's too cute!
what a good girl! maybe you could get one of those touch lights or something lower to the floor that she could turn on when she wakes up!
haha reading in the dark, she's so cute!
That's wonderful! And so cute that she stayed in her room.
It's almost as if they know it's a huge milestone so they behave themselves in their new big boy/girl bed.
