After Rose hopped on the couch by herself and successfully took a nap (without getting down and running around) we thought we would try taking the railing off her crib to make it a big girl bed. It was getting harder to put her down- she didn't want to rock and wanted in her bed, but then would scream and cry and want out. The first week went great at putting her down. We read several books and said our prayers (I ask Rose who she wants to pray for and she ALWAYS says Tyler, Tracie, Laney, Luke and when I ask her if there is anyone else she will repeat them and at times say other people in the family) and I laid on the floor for a few minutes until she was out. We kept her door open and ours. Sure enough between 12 and 2 in the morning Miss Rose would be strolling into our bedroom. I just threw her in our bed and would let her finish sleeping there.
Yesterday we got her a pretty bedspread and pillows that she was very excited about! (pictures of that to come later) I bought her a bubble guppies toy that she could only open if she stayed her in room all night long. She slept with the toy (unopened) and sure enough she slept in her room the whole night! I checked on her at 5am and she was hunched over with her stomach and head on the bed and her feet on the floor, almost like she was considering getting out but really wanted her toy! We will see how tonight goes :)
