After watching Nora in her crib on Saturday, Sean and I both had the thought that she was looking perilously close to being able to bounce/fling herself over the side if she wanted to (or just got too excited about jumping). So we decided that Sunday morning would be the time to disassemble the crib and move the trundle bed from Jonah’s room over for her. Our thinking was that she probably wouldn’t stay in the bed, would miss her nap, but would then be tired enough to eventually fall asleep that night sometime before midnight.

She followed us around while we took the crib apart, saying “Why take a crib apart? Why sleep a different bed?” in a somewhat concerned voice, but once it was set up, she could not have been more excited.

She napped great it in the first day, and fell asleep fine that night. She doesn’t seem to get out at all on her own, and calls for us to get her when she wakes up. Well done, Nora! :)

And the greatest side-effect of the new bed is that Jonah has decided it’s a great place to hang out with his sister. On several occasions, he’s called her in, “Hey Nora! Come in and I’ll read you a book on your bed!” One day, they even did this for a half hour!! They play funny pretend sleeping games and all sorts of other things. The whole transition could not have gone any better.

Other random Nora pictures… Nora took her baby for a walk one morning at her request. “Nora walk stroller outside. Baby in stroller outside!” So off we went. She wanted to take the baby to see the beans in the garden down the block.

And Nora in the “snail dress” I made her last weekend. What a cute face!
