Big Girl Room

Tonight, it will be one whole week since Emma started sleeping in her big girl room! We've been lucky and have had more good days - where she sleeps in her bed most or all night - than bad. After her first night of sleeping in her big girl bed, Emma got a surprise. She got a new train, Percy from Thomas the Tank Engine, to play with. She was so excited about Percy that she has insisted on sleeping with him several nights and after her second night of sleeping in her big girl room, she asked for another surprise. Little Stinker!
I'm starting to enjoy our new routine, especially at nap time. I've discovered that I really enjoy the 10 to 20 minutes of quiet time I get to read while I wait for Emma to relax and go to sleep. Depending on the just how tired Emma is, the bed time routine takes a little longer and I find that harder to enjoy, mainly because I am so tired myself! Hopefully as Emma gets more comfortable in her big girl room the bed time routine won't take as long.
