I am a little behind in my posting. We moved Lana to a big girl bed about 3 weeks ago. She has been doing SO great!! From the very first night she stayed in her bed with no problems, no fussing, no crying, no climbing out. In the mornings and after nap times she stays in bed and calls "Mommy" until I come in to get her. She is such a big girl! The three transitions I was dreading with a toddler were, taking the pacifier away, potty training, and moving to a bed, and we have now accomplished all 3, and Lana has done SO great with each of them. Lana has now been potty trained for 3 1/2 months and is doing SO great with it!! I was dreading all these milestones much more than she was :)
We basically waited as long as possible to move Lana to a bed, considering her baby brother will be here in 3 weeks, but I recently read that 2 1/2 years (30 months) is the best time to make the transition from crib to bed, Lana was 28 months, and I definitely agree that it was best. By this time they are supposed to have more self control to understand they when they aren't supposed to get out of bed, etc. Athough I am sure she would have done great sooner, I am glad that we waited, the tranisition was SO painless, and we have such a big girl! She is going to make a great big sister!!

So happy to be in her very own bed- no more crib :)
