A Warning to first time parents:
DO NOT sleep with your toddler to get them to sleep in the big girl bed!

I am telling you. You will create your worst nightmare.

I miss the crib. Chloe figured out how to climb out of it a couple weeks ago and since then we took it down as it served no purpose anymore.

Oh how I miss the crib. Now there is nowhere to put Chloe to safely contain her.

Anyway. I created a monster by sleeping with her every night. And now she can't sleep without me.

So we are out to change this.

It took 2 hours last night.

We did it the nice way.
She got up.

We did it the mean way.
She got up.

We locked our door.
She figured out how to unlock it.
Seriously.

We gave her water.
She threw up all over Don.

I gave her a "Goodnight Dog."
She threw it.

We turned on music.
She screamed over it.

After 2 hours of this I guess she tuckered herself out.
Oh and Don had to sit at the edge of her bed to make sure she didn't get up.

She ended up in our bed at 2:30 AM and we were so exhausted we let it slide.

Sigh.

Miss Chloe is a stubborn little thing.
