Out and Over

She has broken out.
None of my kids have had cribs. I saw them as a big pain so mine have always been in a pack n'plays for ease. Trevin was out of his around a year. Garrin made it to 18 months. Kiya almost made it 2 years. Last night we put her to bed as usual and came back down to finish watching a show. A few minutes later we hear a door open and some footsteps down the stairs. Joe and I both assumed it was Garrin, since he is the one that opens his door and comes out. We look up and see our little girl dragging her blanky behind. After we got over the shock and a few giggles we realized it would be an exhausting night/few days.
We had bought a "big girl" bed for her almost a year ago anticipating this very night. Luckily she did take to the idea of sleeping in her big bed and it only took us 3 more tries to get her down.
She did wake up around 2:30am and came into our room. LUCKILY, I have trained my kids well and she just walked in and said, "Daddy..." ha. That means I get to stay in bed while he takes her up. She stayed in bed until about 7am and then called for me to come and get her out. Which was nice. It took a few times this afternoon to get her settled, but hopefully she will get the idea quickly.
I've been very blessed with good sleepers and plan to ride the train as long as I can.
Now if I can just get her to keep her pants on....
