There has always been a daybed in Amelia's room, and we've napped on it from time to time or laid down with her on it when she's struggling to fall asleep. But one night last week she asked to sleep there for the night. Since she was interested and it's probably about time, I said yes. I did tell her she had to stay in it, and she did pretty well. She got up once, and scared the tar out of Jeff when she padded into the kitched in her footed jammies. She's slept there every night since, and seems to be sleeping better at night, too!
Amelia in the big girl bed
As Jeff says, why should it be a surprise the she's moved herself to the big girl bed? She did exactly the same thing with the potty. We had a potty chair, but weren't pushing the issue and then one day Amelia decided she wanted to use it and within a month she was fully trained. She also started to insist on not wearing a diaper to bed at night, too, and rarely had an accident after she made that decision.
Exactly who is raising this child? Her or us?

Amelia! You are sleeping in your big girl bed! You must be a big girl! I wish I could come right over there and give you a hug. I would hug your daddy and your mommy, too. And I would hug your little brothers- Alex, the smiley boy and Isaac, who giggles I think, and dear careful Sam. I would give you all a big hug- here it is- HUG! Love, Grandma D
