Hello big bed bye baby cot

Today we achieved another milestone. Letitia has transition from a baby cot to a bed. My only concern right now is that she will wake up in the middle of night and decide that she will play with her toys and not sleep.

Getting her to lie down and not jump off the bed was rather difficult actually. She was so excited that she could actually move around at will without having to be carried out of the cot.

We gave the cot away and hope that it will be of good use to another baby. It served us well the last 20 months. As she needs me to be in the room with her till she falls asleep. I end up on the floor with my arms stuck in between the grills of the cot trying to pacify her to sleep every night. It was really tiring sitting there. Now I can lie down next to her till she falls asleep.

Next hurdle we will have to cross will be to prevent her from crawling out of bed, opening her room door and coming into our room in the middle of the night. Right now she is still too short to turn the knob. I've heard horror stories of children roaming the house at night while everyone is a sleep. Will have to wait and see.

Now that letitia has broken out of her prison nothing to stop her from getting to your room. Giving away the cot a bit early eh. What if something accidentally happens?
