Crib Training

So my sweet girl is FINALLY/JUST now sleeping in her crib and through the night! We had her in a bassinet next to our bed until she was six months. Then we tried to have her sleep in her crib and some nights it worked while others she ended up in our bed. The last month has been crazy with spending the night at my mom's (while Kevin was out of town for a wedding, his brother's bachelor party, and work), being in South Carolina, and then Delaware. The first night we got back from vacation Kevin lowered the crib and we tried this whole crib training thing. The first night she stood up and cried then ended up falling down and getting even more upset. It broke our hearts and she ending up back in bed with us. On Tuesday I tried really hard at nap time to have her sleep in the crib. I got smart and put her sleep sack on her. This made it difficult for her to stand up. Instead she sat up and cried. I went in 2 times laid her back down and said its ni-night time. IT WORKED!! Since then nap time and bed time have been in her crib! Each day it seems to get better and better. Today she laid right down for a nap and talked herself to sleep. I know its only been 3 days, but it seems to be working and all 3 of us are very excited :)
