Since our little one was born she never wanted to sleep in any bed by herself. Not the bassinet we bought for her, or the co-sleeper, or her crib. It was only Mommy and Daddy's bed for her. We didn't really force the issue because we liked having her so close and the way the floorplan was in the previous places we have lived, she was way across the house. That didn't make us feel too safe. There are so many things that can happen..... So, for the last two years she has slept with us, in a queen sized bed. One night a couple of weeks ago, Quintin woke up to find her completely sideways between us- of course he had the luxury of having her feet towards him! He straightened her out once, twice, three times. Finally, the last time he awoke he found a special surprise- little toes in his ear!! It was then that we knew that she had to sleep in her own bed. We started talking it up about how great it was going to be to have a "big girl bed" and she got really excited. We found a cute bed at Ikea and she decided she wanted to have a Scooby Doo bed- no big surprise for us. I had to order the comforter set online, but when it arrived she was so excited. Needless to say, she has been sleeping in her big girl bed ever since- no complaints!
