We did some cleaning upstairs
today and in the process put away the pack-n-play. With a
little encouragement Eve decided that would be ok. She’s sweet
because she always talks about what a big girl she is (“I a big
girl, I a strong girl”) or that she’s a toddler, but if you ask
if she’s a big girl or a baby she always picks baby. Then she
pokes me in the arm and says “I your baby.” :) So I put away
the pack-n-play. At nap time she fussed a little bit, but
settled pretty quickly and fell asleep. After a good long nap I
heard a few thumps up there and went in her room and found that
she got the pack-n-play out of the closet and was trying to set
it up. When I walked in she said, “I need help. I need to nap
in pack-n-play.” I laughed :) Then I told her that she already
had a nap and could get up now. That made her happy. At bedtime
tonight she put up more of a fight, throwing herself on the
floor in a tired baby tantrum. Luckily doggie and giraffe
beckoned to her from the bed, making her giggle and climb up
into bed to cuddle her. I stayed with her for a few minutes,
but left her still awake and she fell asleep on her own. I hope
she’s able to make this transition without too much struggle.
I’m tired of having the pack-n-play in the middle of the room
and she is getting too big for it! Stretched out her head and
feet touch each end. Time for the big girl bed :)
