Bedroom Transition

We dreaded the idea of putting Andrea to her own bedroom. Andrea is used to sleeping with us. She didn't sleep on her crib alone but for a few times only. She was in her own sleeping in her crib which was located near our bed for a bit. But when we weaned her from the bottle, she wouldn't sleep in the crib anymore. She slept in between us for quite sometime.

Dave thought that Andrea is old enough and it is no longer fitting to sleep with him. So, for a few weeks, Dave slept in the couch while Andrea and I slept in bed. Then we decided to give Andrea a room of her own. We prepared ourselves for a difficult transition.

Surprisingly, Andrea welcomed the change. Thanks to all the Dora designs. We made her a Dora room and it made a difference. She now sleeps in her bed. She still looks for me when she wakes up in the middle of the night. But when I put her back to sleep, she never fuss.

It was so amazing how easy the transition is. The picture below shows Andrea taking a nap in her bed.
