Well.....our little "angels" only managed to be "angels" for one night. :) Ha. The very next day, we had to put them back in their cribs (which they now do NOT want to go in because they INSIST they are "big girls"). We're trying to be tough on them at first so that they learn! :) But I do feel bad when I have to put them in their cribs ...and especially when I give them no blankies! They will learn though, right? They really aren't doing terrible though. We always try them in their big girl beds ...and see how they do. They just don't stay "tucked in" and they like to play with their letters on the wall.....and...they don't know how to get OUT of their beds yet...but they do know how to climb across their beds into each other's beds since they are only 12 inches apart! If we find them in a different bed, they go immediately into their cribs! Addison has been doing the best....I think she kinda likes feels proud of herself when she's the only one left in her "big girl bed." Although, even with that, I feel bad when she's the only one in her new room because they have NEVER slept alone! It's amazing though because if Hailey is alone in her crib in the nursery...or if Addy is alone in her big girl room, they go RIGHT to sleep! Oh well - they love their togetherness too. :)
They really are doing very well with it though. It's only taking them like a half hour to get to sleep if they do all stay in their beds which is totally to be expected. So we are proud of them and they are pretty proud of themselves too. It's so cute how they WANT so badly to be big girls! They definitely do better at night than at naptime. So far, it has gone smoother than I thought though so that's good! I just wonder, when do kids finally learn that sleeping UNDER the covers and ON your pillow is actually SUPER comfy? The girls sleep SIDEWAYS on their beds now, on TOP of their covers, and with NO pillow - crazy I tell ya! :)
Anyway - they're up and at 'em so I better go get them! :) Have a great day everyone!

Hey! I meant to ask you about them this week and I forgot! Grant does the same thing with his covers. He uses the pillow, but certainly not the covers. At night I feel like we keep the house even warmer than during the day because he gets cold and wakes up. I'll be glad when he sleeps under the covers, but I'm afraid it's going to be a while.
Yes, it will be quite a while before they stay under the covers. We, too, keep the heat up at night because our girls are constantly uncovered and twisted, and they're 7 and 4! What we do for our children....
