Adventures of the new bed...
Day 1: Natalie gets the new "big girl bed". She sleeps in it all night long. The next morning when she wakes up, she waits for us before she gets up.
Day 2: Uneventful, very much like day 1.
Day 3: Natalie puts self to bed and even shuts door. Proud of her, I call Corey at work to tell him. While on the phone, Natalie comes running out of room with blankie and stuffed animal. She says "hi". This happens 4 times before Mommy sits outside of the door to keep her from leaving. Fast forward to 3:50 am. Hear door bang open. Natalie comes flying out of room sobbing. She doesn't go back to sleep until 5:00 am.
Day 4: Mommy puts a baby gate in front of Natalie's door. She can open the door, but can't get out. Mommy feels very smart, until she looks down the hall and sees that Natalie has learned to turn on her bedroom lights. Mommy goes into the room to find all of Natalie's shoes in bed with her.

Day 5: Mommy takes all shoes out of room. Natalie goes to sleep right away. Gate is in place. Fast forward to 3:00 am. Natalie has found the baby moniter and is talking into it loudly. "daddy. Daddy. DADDY. MOMMY. MOMMY. MOMMMEEEEEE."
Day 6: Natalie is in bed. Mommy is posting on blog. Wondering what will happen tonight and hoping the next time we have a kid he or she is more like Corey.

that is hilarious Gretchen. I had to read that story aloud to Josh. I can totally picture her doing all of that stuff. Do you ever tell your mom those stories and she is like "ahhhh its payback time" ?
Have a good weeekend,
Clever Clovers forever!

Next purchase: cage!

This is much like how Owen started in his bed- except he would quietly sneak into our room and we would wake up with him in bed with us. We started giving him stickers for staying in the bed all night and refusing breakfast if he came into our room.
That last part is a joke- don't tell CPS.
is that a lampshade or a urban style fishing hat?
