Adventures in a Big Bed Part One

Well, Adalie is out of her crib....well sort of. It turns into a toddler bed, and she is so short I am sure she will be able to stay in one for quite a while. She is her father's daughter though.
Brett was a wild sleeper in his younger days. You should hear some of the stories I hear from his parents about when he was younger and in a big bed. Actually I don't even think it stopped until he went on his mission. And often he reverts back to his unusual sleeping habits in our married life thus far. He always ended up on the floor, across the room, under the bed....just everywhere. Well the same is proving true with our little 2 yr old. I would often find her turned in her crib, legs sticking through the rails, arms hanging out, legs up the wall, and even sitting straight up in bed. I was nervous about the switch although lately she has been doing better in staying in one position so I thought it wouldn't be that bad. She has fallen off every night since Thursday. Her toddler bed came with some rails of its own, one at the head and at the feet, but she is so short she just slips right through the middle!!
Last night I heard a noise, like something had fallen in Adalie's room. I woke up Brett to run in and check on her and he found quite the funny sight. She had rolled all the way to the other side of the room, knocked over the box fan that is on her floor, her hands and legs sprawled out every which way, and all the while she had stayed asleep. Funny girl. Today I had to go and get one of the longer ones to put on the side of the bed. We will see if this works better, otherwise I might just have to put her crib railing back on. And that would be sad. haha
