Delila is a BIG GIRL!

So Delila is on her way to being a BIG GIRL! She is so cute!! Here is the story! So on Monday i talked to delila all day about one thing to do to be a big girl is to sleep out of a crib a big girl bed! No we dont have a normal twin or anything yet for her but the front of her crib is off now so she is free to roam! So when daddy got home and took it off she got so excited.

So 8:30 came around for nighty night time and she got in her jammies and brushed her teeth and we then said ok Delila get in your big girl bed and she was so excited. She got in and Richie and i began to read her, her bedtime stories. Then we said our family prayer and gave her kisses for goodnight! We then turned off the light (she still had a night light though) and shut the door the same as we always do.

We stood by the door for a minute or two with some excitement and heard her cry for 2 seconds then silence. so after the two minutes we went downstairs and about 40 minutes later richie went up to check on her!

He came back down a minute later and said I AM SO PROUD OF OUR LITTLE GIRL! i asked why? He said She pulled out one toy and then went up and got in her bed! She did great that night and didnt wake up till 6 am! She is so GREAT!

Last night She again did well with going to sleep in her room haha not her bed. she fell asleep on the floor but didnt make a mess again. at least she is going to sleep and not being naughty. We will see how it goes tonight! SHE IS SO CUTE! i love our lil D!

Prepare the Child for the Path. Not the Path for the Child.

Yay!! I hope she continues to do well in there. If she keeps playing, just take her toys out. She is a big girl! I can't believe how much she's grown the past few weeks.

That's awesome! Sounds like how Max reacted to the big kid bed thing - he was so excited, too. Granted, some nights are better than others, but he's better about sleeping his bed than he was about his crib. Anyway, yay for Delila!
