So far, so...hmmm...

Things are going pretty well with the big girl bed so far. Friday night when we put The P to bed for the first time I told her not to get up on her own, she needed to call for me in the morning. Well she decided to get herself up, turn off her sound machine, and sneak into our room. I couldn't really get upset with her since it was 8 o'clock! Sunday morning was the same, except a little earier. She arrived in our room at about 7. But, still I couldn't be upset since that's not too early. She has been doing the same thing for naps. She'll take a good nap and then get herself up and out of bed.

Last night was a little diffferent. We're not sure why, but something woke her up around 3 and she decided to sneak into our room. She almost scared the pants off of Adam when she started tapping on him. She came bearing gifts- all of her bankies- to share with us. Adam decided to let her sleep in our bed. She lay there quietly with a little squirming, nudging Adam with her foot and rubbing my arm. Let's face it. No one was really sleeping. At 5 Adam decided that was enough and put her back in her bed. She went back to sleep without protest and stayed in until 8 again.

We'll see what happens tonight. I told her she isn't allowed out of bed until the sun comes up. Here's hoping for the best!

Oh, and she pooped on the potty today! Let's hope she can keep it up. My baby is becoming a big girl.

I've gotten some requests for "belly pictures". Here is a picture before Adam and I went to dinner last night. It's hard to see with the black dress, but it's all I have right now. I'll work on it ;) (Someone tell Adam not to look too excited!)
