Big Girl Bed

Well - 4 days ago I posted how we were going to wait to put Aoife in the big girl bed. Today the bed rail arrived and Brendan put it on the bottom bunk. Aoife climbed right up and refused to get down - we tried the nap in the bed and that didn't work. She kept getting down out of bed, walking around, grabbing a book and climbing back into bed. She wanted to go to sleep but there was just too much to do! I put her in the crib and she went right to sleep. We tried the bed again at bedtime tonight and it was a success!! I heard Emmy tell Aoife to get back in bed once and then all was silent. She went to sleep - amazing!! I didn't think Christmas Eve was the best time to try it but it seems to have worked out just fine!
