Big girl bed

So the other day I decided we should transfer Aspen out of her crib and into a twin size bed. I mean she is going to be 2 on Sunday. Although Aspen would have been fine with staying in her crib. As we made this move of across the room, the first couple of nights she cried when we put her to bed but then we got her stuffed Pluto, her snail pillow and her blanket that she slept with and it made it a little more comfortable. I was worried about a couple of things though, her falling out of the bed, and her waking up early and waking me up earlier. If you know me I sleep until 9 in the morning and Aspen would just play in her crib. So I was a bit spoiled and I have to say I am still spoiled. She's been in her bed for a week now and every morning I hear her get up and think ok she's going to come and wake me up but she doesn't to my surprise. She stays on the bed and plays with her Pluto until I get up and get her out of bed. I guess you say it's habit which I'm fine with. One day she will figure out that she doesn't have to wait for either Dylan or I to walk into her room to get her out of bed, that she can do it herself. Until then though I will still enjoy being spoiled and sleep in. As for her falling out of bed, she did fall out one night. We put pillows on the floor so it's a softer landing but she did not like it. She screamed and Dylan went in there and when she wakes up it takes her a long time to go back to sleep. So Dylan laid with her in her bed for about 2 hours that night, her wide awake and Dylan trying to sleep until Aspen started kicking Dylan in the face. That was when he had had enough and came back to bed. She cried for a good 10 minutes and then fell asleep. So all in all, it's been a successful transfer across the room to her new bed.
