Taking our lives in our hands...

We have converted Julia's crib to a toddler bed.

She loves it - "because I'm a BIG GIRL!!!"

And she is also well aware that she can get in and out of it on her own.  She demonstrated this to me when I put her to bed tonight.  Three times. 

"I'm not tired!  I want to watch a movie!" she said, standing by her bed.

I basically told her that if she can't stay in her big girl bed, then I'd have to make it into a crib again.

I really hope that convinces her to stay in bed.  I don't feel like putting the crib rail thing back on.  I like how it looks as a toddler bed.  And I got her new Dora-the-Slora sheets and everything...

We'll see....
