last night as we were putting mya's jammies on she jumped up and said "wanna sleep in my big girl bed." ah! What? i have been preparing myself to move her next weekend so we had 3 solid days with dadda home to help escort her back to bed a million times. there are still a couple of things i wanted to do in her big girl room before we moved her and had it all planned out. well she changed all that last night. i asked her a few times if she was sure and she just took off down the hall and climbed up in her rocking chair. i again asked her if she was sure and she said yes! so trent scooped her up (he could tell i was not ok) and said prayer and laid her in her bed. all the while i am quickly feeling my eyes tear up and am full on crying before the prayer is over. i knew this was coming but was not prepared for it to be last night. we came downstairs and listened intently to the monitor and after about 5 minutes it was dead silent. i couldn't help myself and ran up the stairs to go check on her and found her fast asleep. i was secretly hoping she would wake up and want to go back to her crib but no such luck. she slept there all night and didn't even make a peep. when we went in to get her this morning she sat up and said "i sleep in my big girl bed!" the nursery feels so empty and part of this transition feels so wrong, but i am so grateful that she loves her big girl bed and (i'm hoping) it won't be a fight to keep her in bed. love you sweet girl!
