Due to the fact that both of the girls are able to get out of their cribs at their own convenience, Keith and I decided that it would be a lot safer to go ahead and make the transition to toddler beds. After a lot of planning, we finally got their new room ready for them today!
We wanted to make it somewhat of a big deal for them, so we pretty much redecorated their entire room. The girls "helped" us as we got everything together. They were so incredibly excited about their new Big Girl Beds!
The funny thing is, when they were in their cribs Kylee was Always in the crib on the left and Kaylyn on the right. Well, with their new beds we let them choose which one they wanted. Kylee chose the bed on the left and Kaylyn the one on the right.
We knew the true test was going to be getting them to bed. Nervously, Keith and I tucked them into bed, left the room and turned on the video monitor to see what they were up to. I am happy to report that it was highly uneventful! Kylee got out of bed once to give her sister a teddy bear, but went right back to bed. There was no crying, no wandering, no playing. They were both sound asleep within 15 minutes.
Being that this is only the first night, I am cautiously optimistic about what the future holds, especially when it comes to nap time. Overall I would say the transition so far has gone seamlessly, and the girls seem to be very happy in their new Big Girl Room!
