No more crib!We finally broke down and took the rail off of Court's crib to turn it into a "big girl bed". We were going to wait until she was potty trained, but since that is going nowhere, we decided why not? It's actually made her more excited to go to bed. The bad news is that she can get out! I have to admit it is very cute to hear her little feet run down the hall to our room with her pillow and stuffed kitty. I know we shouldn't let her sleep with us, but we used to like it since it was only once in awhile and for a couple of hours in the morning.
Well...we don't like it anymore! Her top 2-year molars are coming in and her sleep is very restless. She yells out and kicks and hits in her sleep and I'm usually the target. The other night, she sat straight up in her sleep and yelled for me to get her a cookie. Then she laid back down and went to sleep, leaving me with a look of bewilderment on my face.
Her tantrums have gotten really bad with her teething. She's usually such a sweet girl. That's what I tell people in Target and the grocery store when she's down on the ground throwing a fit. I don't think they believe me. She screams and hits and kicks. I'm just so worn out and I miss my little girl. This bratty, alien-child is not mine. I apologize to every mother I've ever given a dirty look to when their children were having fits in public. I shall never judge again!
Here's a pic of (what used to be) my little angel trying out her new bed
