The Honeymoon is Over!


We moved Ava to her big girl bed about a month ago. The day that we decided to make the move, I psyched myself out all day. I anticipated that she would get out of the bed and have horrible fits. I was wrong - for a whole month she didn't move from the bed until I came to get her. I couldn't have been happier and even though I knew different, I told myself that she would do that forever!! Well.... she has definitely figured out now that she can get out of the bed and my earlier fears have now come true. The first day it happened, I had no clue. I was in my room doing laundry thinking both kids were peacefully napping, then I heard screams coming from Sam's room. That is unusual - so I went to check it out. And what did I find- Ava standing on the edge of the crib throwing random items from the room into the bed. After my initial shock, I escorted her back to her room and the battle began. It has since gotten a little better, but I now understand what parents call "travelers in the night!"

  1. This is so funny. I thought it was going to be a post about you and your hubs. I can't believe she is in a big bed, Kate is still in a crib and has a passy (which she calls yellow) in her crib. She will ask to go lay down in the middle of the day to get a "hit" off her yellow. I plan on keeping her in there for a LONG TIME! Then if she climbs out, I plan on putting that tent thingy over it. She will try to escape out of the house. My neighbors have to lock the door from the outside and lock her closet because she gets out and roams the house at night. KAte would roam the neighborhood. Glad Ava is adjusting to it well. I'm jealous.

  2. My neighbor's little girl, not Kate. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Also, Ava is so cute and her room is adorable.
