Macey's Big Girl Bed

January 17... Once we got moved into our new house we decided to move Macey into her big bed. The girls have bunkbeds--Sadie on top, Macey on the bottom. They had been sharing a room since we moved into our temporary house, but we knew that moving Macey to a bed would probably create a bit more drama... we were right.

We decided to give it a try but move Macey back to a pack and play (in the guest room) if it wasn't working. Night 1--we put the girl's back into their beds 3 times then decided to call it quits. Macey moved to the pack and play. Night 2--we put the girls back into bed once and they fell asleep...
Ever since she's slept in her big girl bed every night! I still put her in a pack and play (in our room) for naps. This allows Sadie to have quiet time in her room. I will probably continue this until Sadie is in Kindergarten (as long as she will stay in the pack and play!)

Some nights are better than others... Any time Sadie gets up Macey is quick to follow. Some nights Sadie gest frustrated b/c Macey won't stop talking or b/c Macey keeps trying to climb up into her bed. Other nights Sadie pesters Macey and tells her to get out of bed and try to open the door. We've found them both asleep in Macey's bed on multiple occasions.

I'm thankful these sisters get to share a room... share night time whispers & giggles. I know there will come a day when they might want there own space but for now I will cherish those giggles!

PS--Yes, Macey still has her paci... hopefully not for too much longer!

Aww... I can't believe she's big enough for a bed! Glad it's going well for you :)
