Bed Update

Jenna's had two successful naps and one overnight in her toddler bed. I don't think she's realized that she can climb out on her own (she does crawl in by herself). Since we are in the middle of redoing her room there isn't much for her to get into (as long as she stays out of the closet), so if she does get up, it will probably be ok. Once she learns how to open doors though...that could be a problem!

Yikes!

Last night Jenna woke up screaming. I waited a few minutes, then went into her room to make sure everything was ok. She was fine, so I gave her a hug and kiss and tucked her back into bed. No sooner than I turned around was she screaming and standing. I told her that if she wasn't tired she could read her book or play with the doll in her crib and I went back to bed. Just as my head hit the pillow I heard a huge thud and then silence. Talk about making my heart race. I don't think I've ever moved so fast. Aaron was right behind me. By the time we got to her room she was screaming again and seemed perfectly fine (other than the screaming which still obviously had to do with her not wanting to go to bed). I was scared to let her back in the crib since she could get out (and she evidentially doesn't have a good landing technique), so into bed with us she went. This stopped the screaming, but she still wasn't tired and she kept putting her hands and feet all over us. Since Aaron had to work in the morning, I took her out of the room.  I decided that I'd have to put her in the crib in order for either of us to get sleep, but she still didn't want in there. I ended up laying by the crib until she fell asleep. All in all the ordeal lasted 2 hours and did she sleep in? Of course not!

We'd planned to move her to a toddler bed between 2 and 2.5, but that plan changed last night. Aaron's changing the crib to a bed as I type. Wish us luck. I am not overly optimistic about it, but it beats her doing a swan dive from the crib rail!
