May 20, 2007 - Cara Moves into her Big Girl Bed

On May 20, our little baby - actually our Big Girl - Cara moved out of her crib and into her big girl bed. She had spent the night before at Grandma Claudia's house with Nick. While she was gone, her Dad took her crib apart and moved her Big Girl Bed into Nick and Cara's room.


Although she has not climbed our of crib more than once or twice, she is getting to be old enough to make the switch.


We put Cara and Nick to bed the first night at about 7:30pm. Nick and Cara stayed up until about 10:00pm jumping on the beds and making mischief. We expected that Nick would not be excited about the switch since he will notice the changes most directly. Other than asking us to get Cara out of his bed, so far no complaints. One week into it and Cara is still staying up later than usual but she seems to always fall asleep in her bed (eventually).
