Brad and I decided that we had better move Kate over to her princess room now instead of waiting until the baby was almost here because we don't want Kate to feel ousted. Tonight is officially night numero uno sans crib. We've been talking to Kate for at least a month about how much fun it will be to sleep in her princess room and she seemed pretty excited about it. This afternoon she migrated all (and I mean ALL) of her stuffed animal friends from her crib to her new bed. We brought over the blanket she always sleeps with and her pillow, hoping that would make the transition easier.
Brad and I read her stories, sang her songs, and reassured her that she would have a fun and safe (Kate's big on "safe") night's sleep. Brad snuck out the door first and as I was crawling out of Kate's bed, she looked at me with panicked eyes and screamed "Mommy, Kate no want princess room. Cribby room please. Cribby please. No princess room." It took everything in me not to say "Okay, you're right. Let's go back to the crib!" I resisted, gave her a big kiss and told her we would play first thing in the morning after she told me all about her night. She hollered as I closed the door and I thought to myself we're going to have big problems tonight. Brad and I were talking in the hallway and she stopped crying within 30 seconds and I haven't heard a peep since (17 minutes and counting). Please, please, please let my sweet baby sleep well tonight!!!!
