Life is measured by various milestones, or graduations from one of life's phases to another. This weekend, Baby Bear officially graduated from baby to little girl and has gone from sleeping in a crib to a bed.
We have been thinking about making this change for some time. Baby Bear could climb out of her crib, if she wanted to bad enough. So far, she hadn't wanted to that badly. (We did have to block her from climbing out a few times.) We gifured it was time to make the change before she did REALLY want to climb out and possibly hurt herself.
Daddy Bear figured out how to take off the front of the crib and replace it with a partial wall. The partial wall has an opening for Baby Bear to crawl in and out on her own.
As we explained that shis was a big girl bed, she marveled at her new found ability to climb in and out at will. Daddy Bear and I were visualizing many nights where we would be putting her back in after she had climbed out (a technique we have been studying from SuperNanny episodes). Much to our suprise (three days into it now), once we have gotten her in bed, she has stayed there. She is a big girl. Sigh!
