Sleeping Woes

Two weekends ago, I was going through Kara's closet and she found the parts of the crib that makes it a toddler bed. She asked what they were and I explained to her they were for her big girl bed. She knows she got the big girl bedding for Christmas and she asked if she could sleep in the big girl bed.

I spent the next hour or so converting her bed and she helped me put the new sheets and comforter on the bed. She spent most of the day sitting in her new bed reading and playing. I thought it would be easy for her to sleep. I was right for a week.

Now, its a battle to get her to stay in her room. She makes up every excuse from "I'm thirsty" to "Im scared." I started sleep training tonight. Its much harder than it was when she was a baby. She used to just fall asleep within 10 min. Now, its more than an hour. Then she ends up in the bed with me around 3 or 4 am. That's if she doesn't wake up at 11pm.

I'm praying this new method of training, Im working on works. Im exhausted.

What Happened to my Baby

and who is this little girl....?

Kara's growing up fast and this picture is proof.

Potty Training

We have started potty training. We started last week and the stomach bug caused us to have a time out.

For the past 3 days, Kara has been doing great. By looking at this chart, it seems as if Kara is getting used to holding. I might brave going out of the house without a diaper on. Until she has a dry diaper at night, she will be wearing the night time diapers.
