So, I've been going back and forth for a while now about when to put Olivia in a "big girl" bed....
....do I do it right away?....do I wait until after the baby comes when she is older?
We decided that there could be issues with her getting out of bed, and so I'd rather just deal with it now and have it all ironed out by the time the baby gets here.
We are borrowing a bed from Brandon and Stephanie (thanks guys) and got new bedding for Olivia while we were in North Dakota. Wes painted her room and I can't wait to post pics when it's all done.
Anyway, Wes put her to bed tonight while I was out. When I came home he told me that he put her back in her crib because she kept coming out of the room. haha!
She was still awake, so I decided to put her back in her bed (we'll have to deal with it eventually). She tried getting out several times, but I kept putting her back in and encouraging her to close her eyes and go to sleep. She didn't want to stay in bed, but eventually she did and fell fast asleep. Hopefully each night gets a bit better, and quicker.
Bless her little heart.
Here is a picture of her the next morning...

That's funny, we just started Catie on a big girl bed this week too. We've only used it for naps though, I'm not quite ready to deal with bed time.
Good job. She will get use to it and so will you guys. Even when she is use to it and sleeps most of the time there will be days when she gets up but that is what children do and that is okay. Relax and enjoy the transition. It will all work out.
