I decided that Amelia is growing up. Her crib “converts” (ha!) to a toddler bed by taking a side and the wheels off. We got her a side rail, being assembled here by Ethan, so she only has about 8 inches open. She also has a new pillow with some butterflies on it, so she can learn to keep her head at one end.

She definitely feels special and excited. She kept telling us “I’m a big girl!” She even told Daphne that a couple times, almost screeching it right in her face.
Is she ready for this? Are we ready for this? I told her if she gets up in the night after Monday that the side goes back on the crib. We’ll see…hopefully our great sleeper will stay that way.

The assembly directions for the rail are funny: “PLEASE: Take a big breath – and rest assured that these instructions are very easy to follow, and will help you assemble this rail VERY quickly, and without tools!” Ethan was wishing for a couple pictures.

10:37 pm update: so far so good. She went right to bed at 7:47. We just peeked and her head is on the pillow! Now we’re guessing naptime tomorrow will be fun.

Tuesday AM update: She hasn’t gotten out of bed once. Including the hour she spent talking and not napping on Sunday. She climbs in and out when we’re hanging out in her room, but waits for us to get her out when she wakes up from sleeping.

Saturday update: She hasn’t gotten out yet…she’s awesome!
