At Christmas, we moved Ellie's bedroom to our front bedroom. Her old bedroom backed up to our bathroom. We have always had to be some what quiet in the mornings getting ready. When we moved her, I wanted to go on and convert her crib to the toddler bed. Christian didn't want to because she was crawling out yet. So I left her in the crib.
Two Saturday mornings ago, Ellie woke up at 5:45 am. I went in and told her it was too early to get up. I left the room hoping that she would at least sleep until 6:30 am. At about 6:15 am, I hear a little voice say, "I have to go potty!" I was half asleep, so I wasn't sure if she was standing in our room, if it came from the monitor or if I was dreaming it. Well, she was in our room!!
Every morning around 5:45 am she would crawl out and come to our room. There was only one night when she crawled out at 1 am. Ellie was still not sleeping through the night.
This past Friday night, we converted her bed to a toddler bed. She has done so good. I am so glad we waited as long as we did. We don't get the excuses like I need to go potty, I need a glass of water, etc. She did start waking up at night again, but she just sits up in her bed. I will go in there and tell her that its okay and she goes back to sleep.
One more milestone down....
Here is a video of her crawling out. This is a video of the video monitor in our room!
Cute story: If Christian or I hurt ourselves, Ellie will come up to us and say, "I'm sorry mommy. Its okay mommy." While saying this she will rub our head or back....which I might add is the sofest touch ever!! Last night Ellie noticed a cut on my thumb. She asked what had happened, and I say that I cut it while trying to cut an apple. She looked at me and started rubbing my back and said, "It's okay sweetheart, its okay!!" Christian and I looked at each other and just laughed! She is so stinkin cute and sweet!!
