We are going to try to transition Adelaide into the toddler bed again tomorrow. I am finally at the point that I don't know what else to do. We have tried putting her back in the crib with the rail up and down, both were unsuccessful. We bought a side bed rail, which worked great for 2 days. Those 2 days she slept WONDERFUL and was a delight to be around the next day. Then she learned to climb over and bye-bye sweet Adelaide. There is one place she will sleep, her pack n play. She can climb over it but choses not to. Why not let her sleep in there? Because she is a brat! Even though she is sleeping in there she doesn't seem to be getting a good quality sleep.
Today I let her pick out her own sheets, they are Dora. Stephanie let me borrow a book on sleeping, which I have read nearly all of already. We are taking all the little steps we need to and are getting ready for tomorrow night. YAY! I figure since I am pregnant and already not sleeping through the night, her not sleeping through the night won't bother me too much.
Good Luck! However you decide to "train" her make sure you're consistent with it. That's one of the biggest lessons Emma Anne has taught me so far: consistency!
ReplyDeleteGood luck gal, it really took Emma 4 months....oh, and she STILL won't nap there. Blah! What are we going to do with these tricky toddlers?!
ReplyDeleteGood luck- I have been putting this move off. Potty training has been occupying our time. i kind of tend to put things off until the kids force me into something- so I tip my hat to you, and your better mothering techniques.Seriously, though, i wish you luck, these things can be tough!!
ReplyDeleteHope it goes well! No sleep is no fun!
ReplyDeleteGood luck lady! I hope it all goes smoothly!
