ADVENTURES IN PARENTING PART 2

August 17th - Since Avery and I went to NC she has not been sleeping well, and hence neither have I. On Tuesday the 17th Avery managed to climb out of her crib 3x without making a sound or crying. I have to say she is very smart. We made her go back to bed after the first time so each time instead of coming into our room she went on the couch. After that exhausting night (little did we know what was ahead of us) we decided it was time to convert her crib into a big girl bed. Ever since she has gotten into her big girl bed she has not slept and keeps getting out every 3-4 hours, if we are lucky that she will even go to sleep. David and I feel like new parents who are sleep deprived. Avery began sleeping through the night at 6-8 weeks old and has handled all transitions with little fuss. I guess it is my turn to suffer. So please think about us as you sleep all night and hope that we will some day soon.

We let Avery pick out her new big girl sheets, comforter and pillow. She gets really excited when you mention her big girl bed but sticks out her bottom lip when you mention her actually sleeping all night in it.

Hang in there! Hopefully she'll start sleeping through the night before she gets her learner's permit! :o
