For the past 4 nights Audrey has been sleeping in the queen bed in her room. I put bed rails on both sides and then had to squish pillows along the sides and bottom of the bed since the mattress is so high. Audrey has been having lots of nightmares lately and has wanted me to lay by her in order to go to sleep. So, I decided it was finally time to be done with the crib. Audrey used to flop around a lot at night, but now is moving around less. She loves the big bed and will still wait for me to come and get her in the morning.
Audrey has been without an afternoon nap for 3 weeks now (with the exception of one day where she had had nightmares and insomnia the night before). She kept stretching out the days til she didn't need a nap until 4 or 5 and then would stay up until 11pm. I got tired of that schedule and decided to see how she would do without a nap. She was a bit cranky later on in the day, but she got used to it after a week. She'll fall asleep in the car if I'm driving around 5-6 pm, but she is sleeping longer at night. It's nice to not have to worry about naps anymore. She's an insanely light sleeper, and wouldn't sleep anywhere but in her crib. Yay!

Brynlee is doing the same thing...staying up until 10:30 to 11:00 or so. It is so annoying. We'll need to eliminate the nap soon too. Give Audrey smoochies for us.
hooray!
