Big girl bed - night 1

I can sum it up in one word... Fail! Greta was all excited. And loved laying in her new big girl bed (aka the crib with s railing). After finally rocking her to sleep, because nothing else worked.... I laid her down. And so far so good. 

Then at about 1:00, I heard her wake up and sit up and start to get out. So I go in and put her back in bed, thinking I'll pay her for a bit and go back to bed. 

Oh how wrong I was. Patting, singing, rocking, crying it out. I tried everything with no success. She wanted this pillow or this animal. She wanted a drink. Ugh - I thought I was going to lose it. Oh instead I let her scream it out for about 5 minutes and then went in and laid her back down and told her i was going to sit in my car. Every time she looked over I told her I was still there. About 10 minutes later finally asleep. 

Now it's about 3:30 and I finally get to go back to bed. 

Then about 6:30, she walks into out room happy as a clam. 

So praying she sleeps all night!
