It’s time. I know. The kid is 3 years old. It’s high time she was given a bed to sleep in.

Hey now, I heard that “ya think??”.

I wanted her to have “ownership” of this move though. She has asked (multiple) times when she will sleep in a big girl bed.

I was waiting for her to ask again. She did earlier this week.

So today Daddy got her big girl bed set up and tonight she will sleep in it for the first time.

Her crib is still in there and I will not be afraid to put her in it if she doesn’t follow her “Sleep Time Rules”:

1. Lay down, close eyes & go to sleep.

2. Stay in bed until Mommy or Daddy come to get you up.

Who thinks she will be able to sleep all night long in her big girl bed????

I am choosing to be optimistic, but Little Bug is the type that must test her boundaries. It would not surprise me in the least bit if she has to sleep one more night in her crib to learn these “Sleep Rules” DO apply to her!

But hopefully she will look like this tonight, all night long:
