You Grows Up and You Grows Up

Oh, monumentous day. My jewel has graduated from crib to full size twin bed (she's advanced for her age and skipped the toddler grade level). And with much change comes much anticipation, excitement, and sleeplessness. We were hoping that she would take to it, since the bed was a gift from her aunt, whom my jewel adores. The first night did not go well, as she was scared at her lack of secure surroundings. It took her a while to get to sleep. Night two went better, but my beloved's and my dreams were shattered when our little one realized for the first time that she was no longer bounded by any artificial restraints to keep her in bed. She crept into our room during the night and when I woke up, there she was. We had been hoping that she would still respect the fact that we had to come to get her in order for her to get up in the morning and from naps. Um, nope!

And as it goes, I think she enjoys jumping on her new bed more than sleeping in it...
