My urban legend baby

Ebi's crib for the past 3.5 years

I had one of those urban legend babies w/ E.  At 10 weeks, she decided on her own to sleep peacefully through the night w/o any intervention from me.  No sleep training.  No cry-it-out. Suffice to say, if it were up to me, I would have kept her in a crib for at least another three months until she turned 4.  However, after our recent weekend to Rocking Horse where she shared a queen-sized bed w/ Lauren, putting her to bed in her crib seemed wrong.  I mean, at 3 years old, her pediatrician said she was already the size of a 4-year-old.  So presumably, she's now close to a 5-year-old.

I reluctantly got her a "big bed" (mattress and box spring) but took my time making the switch w/ all sorts of excuses.  For instance, I told Tae, "We have to wait until I get back from Seattle.  We don't want to move her to a big bed when I'm not home."  Slowly but surely, I ran out of excuses and Tae called me out on all my feet-dragging.  Right before lunch today, we converted her crib into a full-size bed.  After lunch, per usual, I put her down for her nap and she slept well w/o incident.  Tonight was her first "nighttime" sleep so hopefully we will make it through another peaceful night like we have been so fortunate to enjoy w/ both our amazing daughters.  

Converted into a big-bed today!
