Big Girl Bed

We've been putting off moving Perry to a big girl bed for quite a while now. She was still doing really well in her crib and we didn't want to mess things up. But the time finally came for us to make the move. We bought her a mattress & just put it on the floor. We also bought her a bed too, but I want her to get the hang of it first before we set it up. So far it hasn't been going too well. At night, she cries and cries until I finally cave in and lay down with her until she falls asleep. I do NOT want to be doing that every night! What makes it hard is that she shares a room with Elliot and it's not fair to her to let Perry cry it out. Although last night I let Perry cry for a good 30-45 minutes. But I couldn't take it anymore and had to go in there. The weird thing is that the past 2 days she's taken a nap without any problem. Who knows what the difference is. Anyway, can't wait until she gets the hang of it & we can all get some sleep!

Could you put Elliot down after Perry goes to sleep?

Crying it out is the only thing that works for us. No one gets good sleep during the process. Now you have no more babies in cribs! Congrats! ;-) Levi is a monkey and climbs in and out of his (actually flips in) but luckily stays in his room all night. When we make our move we are going to build a triple bunk bed that they really want. Then we will be crib free too.
