New Stages

Over the New Year we went up to Robs parents cabin and while we were there one night we were all playing games downstairs late in the night when I hear a sweet little voice saying "Mama!" Scarlett was so excited because she had just escaped her crib and opened up her door all by herself. I think she had been working on it for awhile because she looked so proud of herself when she came down the stairs hahaha. It was the cutest and most frightening thing because then I realized we had to put her into a bed.

Scarlett has never been one to love sleep so you can imagine my excitement when this happened. When we came home we made her crib into a toddler bed and it just took about a week for her to really get use to it. We ended up just putting her in her bed at night and for naps and locking the door behind us so she couldn't get out. The first couple of times we did that we would always go check on her and find her lying asleep right in front of her door on the floor. One morning we went in to get her when she woke up because she was crying for some reason and Rob couldn't find her anywhere! So he turned the light on and she came crawling out from under her bed haha! After that night she has been really good about falling asleep in her bed AND waking up in her bed.

Another great story that happened that first week… I put Scarlett down for a nap when I usually do and for about thirty minutes straight she was kicking her door saying "mom" over and over and over again. Finally I decided to call it quits and give in. When I opened her door she stuck her head out and gave me a grin. I turned around to walk away and right when I did I see her sprinting past me butt naked! I haven't laughed so hard in so long! It was one of the funniest things to see, mainly because I was not expecting it at all!
