She's a big girl!!

Last night Chloe slept in her toddler bed for the first time. We've had it since we moved in, but we waited a little bit before we put it up. She has been sleeping in her portacrib all summer and was very attached to it. The only problem with it is that she's too big for it now. Her head and her feet both touch the ends of the crib! So, last night we decided it was time for the big girl bed. We've talked about it quite a bit to her, so she knew it was coming. She was very excited about it, but she also knew that it meant no more 'pappy', (pacifier). We thought we could just do it all at once, instead of changing beds and then getting rid of the pappy. I would normally have stopped the pappy when she turned two, but with us moving twice during the summer, we decided to let her keep it a little longer. She's only had it in her bed for more than a year, but I really think I was just as attached as she was!! So, she went to bed great last night. She never even mentioned the pappy. I think she knew that she wasn't supposed to have it. It went pretty well, and she slept through the night fine. I was worried that she would wake up in the middle of the night wanting her pappy, but so far so good. I know that we'll have a few nights where she doesn't go to sleep as well as usual, but it looks promising. She's down for her nap now, but I know she's not asleep yet. Hopefully it will go smoothly, and she'll actually nap. We both need for her to nap!
