Katelyn's Big Girl Bed



Back in July, we decided it was time to put Katelyn in her big girl bed. We remember how hard it was with Camden at first, so we thought we would get it started before we went back to school. While Camden and Katelyn were staying with their Nana and Papa, we took the crib down and turned her room into a toddler bed. She was so excited when we showed it to her... Camden was so excited for her too!!

Little did I know, Katelyn was SO easy in the beginning. She would just lay down and snuggles with her doll and her baby and go right to sleep. She hated having her door closed, so she would ALWAYS stay in her bed. If she got out, we told her we would have to shut her door so she always stayed in bed.

It wasn't until around October when she started getting up out of bed and coming to find us. She started sneaking down stairs and would hide around the corner and peek at us without saying a word. Once she had a few days of us taking her back upstairs, she stopped. She is a pretty quick learner!! Next, she went through a phase where she would just sit on the stairs. She wouldn't say a word, she would just sit there!!

Currently, she has learned how to open the doors in the house, so we can't threaten to shut her door anymore, so we had to resort to the gate on her bedroom door. It took about 5 days of her screaming at her gate, but now she goes straight to sleep every night!

She does love her bed:) Night-Night baby girl.
