Today we dismantled Brienne's crib and set up the toddler bed. I remember very clearly the day we bought the toddler bed - a steamy hot New Jersey July day. We noticed the bed in a yard sale near our house and after driving by drove back to check it out. Celine was 26 months and very pleased with her new bed. Likewise Brienne was very happy about the her new bed today.
For the first time in 2 years Brienne has been consistently sleeping through the night from bedtime (8:30pm) till 7:00-8:00am. We just recently weaned her from the early morning nursing in our bed. Now we figure she's ready for a real bed. Time will tell, I hope it improves from tonight though. She's been up & down, up & down, she's "tiewood", "hummy", "chwee", needs to "get sumping". Currently I think she's up, standing in the dark in the bedroom, I can feel it. Celine and Laurent abandoned the noisy transition in the bedroom for the quiet of our room a long time ago...
I was right, she was up again. I just spent the last 15 minutes laying on the floor next to her bed till she fell asleep. Meanwhile, Celine's asleep in our bed and Laurent's still awake asking to sleep on the floor also because "remember that time that Celine slept on the floor in our bedroom" -Yikes this could be a long night. Not sure what possessed me to do this the night Damien is gone to Boston!
