A little while ago Audrey started insisting that she have a big bed like Colin's. We had already converted her crib to the toddler bed but she wanted a "big bed"! In January, we decided to go ahead and switch her bed. However, we made a deal with her. We told her that big girls sleep in big beds and big girls don't have bottles. She was still sleeping with a bottle of water at night. She had to throw away her bottle if she was going to get her big bed. She had a hard time with this decision and went back and forth for a whole afternoon(haha). Finally she picked up her bottle and threw it in the garbage and said she wanted a big bed. She never looked back for the bottle. It took me a few days to throw away the rest because I was scared but she was fine with it and never wavered.
The first few nights she slept with the mattress on the floor like this.
When the weekend got here, Paul built the bed....with a little help
Her first night in her new big girl bed
This is how she insists on sleeping every night now. The pillows all need to be stacked up just like this. She's almost sitting up she's so high on pillows
