Big Girl Bed

This post has been way over due, but I wanted to make sure it hit the blog at some point. Back in May of 2013 Sawyer decided to start crawling out of her bed over and over. I actually had her do it for me in person so I could video it ;) That same day we transitioned her into her "big girl bed" (same bed, but with a toddler rail) so that she wouldn't ever hurt herself crawling out in the middle of the night!

This all happened a month after she turned 2 and I had a 5 month old newborn as well. Needless to say, as soon as Sawyer was transitioned into her toddler bed, life got a little more crazy for me! ;)

helping her daddy out :)

"you mean I'm free to get in and out as I please?"

She slept great in it for a solid 2 weeks without getting out. She would even wait for us to come get her in the mornings. And then…it hit her…all toddlerhood let loose. She's been in our room almost every night since ;) We now have a cot set up so when she comes in in the middle of the night she just lays down there and doesn't disturb us (as much) while we are sleeping. Every now and then she stays asleep in her room all night long and doesn't migrate over to ours, but that's rare, haha. She always starts out in her room, though, and usually lasts about 3-5 hours before coming over to ours. Oh well. It's better than all night in our room!!

Cannot believe she's about to be 3…

Scare Me Silly…

Last night around 4am Sawyer scared me to death…

I went to check on Dayton because he was crying, and I noticed Sawyer's door was wide open (she sleeps with it closed), so I went in to check on her and she wasn't anywhere in her room. Then I walked around the house saying "Sawyer! Sawyer!" using the light from my phone. She didn't respond, and I didn't see her anywhere, so I went and told Casey that she wasn't in her bed and that I couldn't find her! I thought that someone must have come in and taken her! (My mind goes to the worse place, I know). I also thought that maybe she had somehow gotten out of the house (she recently learned how to open the gate to the fence in the backyard and gotten out while she was playing, so I thought maybe she had learned to open one of the doors to outside).

We started turning on lights and there she was laying on the couch completely asleep. She never woke up even when Casey picked her up and put her in her bed! So funny. Wish I could know how long she had been asleep on the couch…There were some toys around her like she'd been playing with them in the pitch black and then fallen asleep. We should have taken a picture.

Two-year-olds.
