Adventures in the big girl bed

Not necessarily intending for her to immediately make the transition, we set up the big girl bed that we got from the Cross family. They needed it out of the garage, and I had just sorted out Ivi's room, so we put it up because we didn't have anywhere else to put it I guess. Well, Miss Ivria thought it was a novel concept and climbed right in when it was time for bed on Saturday. All was well for about oh, lets say,.....five minutes :-) when we heard an odd noise from her room, I got up to find her trying to close her bedroom door, which was at that point blocked open by a baby gate we had put in to keep her from wandering the house at night. She is used to having it closed but not latched, so I figured she was just trying to close it like it normally is, and she would go back to sleep. And so, all was well. Untill about an hour later when I hear thunk thunk thunk. So I go in to find her on her bed, with every baby board book that she had in her room, sitting there like she is reading in the dark! The noise was some of the books falling off the bed apparently. So, we said "no no books Ivi, stay in your bed" and tucked her back in and all was well. Or so we thought. Another hour later, I hear her baby word that she uses to reference the pacifier, and I go in there to find that she has piled all the blankets from her bed onto the floor in the corner, and the pacifier is nowhere to be found. So, we have to turn on the lights, and find the missing comfort item, an then she decides that she wants to go in the crib after all.

Tonight she asked to go in the big girl bed again.


All is well.........(insert ominous music) for now........
