We finally decided to take Charlie out of her crib. She still sleeps well at night but likes to crawl on top of the drawers that are attached to the crib and scream during her naptime. We got a new railing for the side of her crib. She was very excited to jump and play in the bed the first day, but once we put her down the first night she was pretty scared. We have to sit with her, rub her back, and reassure her that we are still in the room. She has tried to pull me into bed with her many times, and I have finally learned that is impossible to get up without waking her. Charlie takes about 10 minutes to fall asleep and then we try to sneak quietly out of her room without waking her.
Every night this week she has woken up in the middle of the night. She opens her door, walks down the hallway with her blanket, and says, "Hi Mama" or "Hi Papa". We walk her back to her bed to start over again. It has been a very long time since we have been woken up in the middle of the night, and we definitely aren't used to her walking around our house without us. Overall, it hasn't been too bad and we hope it continues.
