big girl bed

Hailey is officially in a "big girl bed". It is actually a toddler bed, but it defintely makes her feel all grown up! Meme has been saving this toddler bed for Hailey since Hailey's second cousin, Amber grew out of it. We brought it home thinking we could store it and maybe try it after the new year, but as soon as it was home Hailey decided she had enough of her crib and would throw a fit every time we put her in the crib.

So "for fun" Tuesday night I put the bed in our room and laid her down. She came out twice laughing, but when it came down to it she went to sleep and slept through the night. She woke up with the biggest smile on her face the next day.

Wednesday we made the switch to her room and she has been sleeping in there ever since. The only problem is she doesn't stop moving even in her sleep and so I am using a bolster pillow to keep her in the bed. The first couple nights without it I found her sleeping half on/half off the bed. Once she was off headfirst! So the problem we have is not keeping her on the bed when she is awake, but when she is asleep!
