Big Girl Bed

If you are reading this blog, you know that our family is a cosleeping family. This is something that we never expected to do, but grew to embrace. As much as I enjoyed having my baby sleep right next to me for the first 22 months of her life (and, believe me, I enjoyed each and every second!), the time came for Lili Bean to sleep in her own bed. I think it was harder on Mommy. Lili has been sleeping in her own bed (right next to our bed) for the past week plus. She has only climbed back in bed with us once or twice. Two nights ago I woke up at 3ish to see a little bedheaded pixie face right next to me. She whispered, "Baby up on bed with Mama?". How do you say no to that? <--That is what I told Chris the next morning when he asked why Sassy was in the bed again.



Leah has even slept through the night a handful of times. We've been promising her a new Elmo DVD for each time she sleeps through the night. Last weekend, she did it. Chris and I woke up before Leah and were whispering about how amazed we were that she slept ALL NIGHT. Next thing we know, her little face appears over the side of the bed and says in a serious voice, "MoMo DD" (Elmo DVD). All she was missing was, "NOW, Peeps, I did it!"
