Eye on the Prize...


So on Day 2 of the "Big Girl Room Saga" we put the pack-n-play in Mal's room for Carter's morning nap...and he took a snoozer in there...then when it was time for Mallory's nap she decided she wanted to sleep in the pack-n-play...So at least we were moving in the right direction! She definitely cried for a good 10 mins though (and usually never cries to go to sleep)...but we let her and she about won an Oscar for her performance! :) When she woke up we really played up how awesome it was that she had napped in her new room! Then she wanted to show us where Carter's bed was and she went in the Nursery! Yay! Progress! Well...last night Mom, Dad, Susan and her boyfriend had offered to sit for us so we could go out for my B-Day...so nice! Even nicer that they would sit even though it was a time of transition for our family! Everyone did great once they fell asleep in their new rooms....and today when it was time for nap the pack-n-play "mysteriously" disappeared so Mallory is IN HER BIG GIRL BED! And she only cried for 1 min after we closed the door! We can't wait to go in there and celebrate with her when she wakes up!!! (There is nothing better than going in to get your child once a nap is over or in the morning...they are so happy and the above video of Mallory at about 61/2 months is helping me to keep "my eye on the prize" during this transition! :) )
