Valerie and her Toddler bed

We set the toddler bed up about a month ago so that we could see if she was ready for it yet. She loved playing on it, but the minute we said "night night" and started to walk out of the room she would start to cry. Throughout the month she pointed to it a couple times and we would try again, but it didn't take till about two weeks ago. She slept her first night in her toddler bed with a little crying, but it only lasted a few minutes and then she was asleep. I thought nap time would be a little more difficult, but as you can see from the above picture, she is doing great! We even have moved the crib out of her room and into Harrison's room. This week I eliminated the bottle cold turkey and she is doing great with that as well. The first morning that I gave her a sippy cup instead of the bottle she threw a fit for about 15 minutes, but when I gave her another sippy cup for lunchtime there was no fit at all. I just hope potty training goes this well after the baby comes. Cross your fingers!
