The Big Girl Bed Diaries: Our Journey From Co-Sleeping
❤✨Hello Beautiful Mama's
Have you struggled through transitioning our little ones from our beds to their very own big girl bed? If so, PLEASE send help!! This mama is definitely struggling.
Transitioning from co-sleeping to a big girl bed is a monumental step for both toddlers and parents alike. As we navigate this journey, there are moments of joy, frustration, and everything in between. Now if that ain't true then I don't know what is. "how's it going" you ask. NOT GREAT. Not only is Tiny feeling big emotions but so is this mama.
Today marks day one out of six tries ( all different times, yes I know consistently is Key). Each time I try to get Tiny to sleep in her own bed, it's a damn fight and boy, does it hurt my heart. I'll get her all set up in bed, without tears. Then it starts. Knocking on the door, screaming, the alligator tears, the repetitive needing of something, and the constant up down motion from my office chair. This entire time, I have my camera app open on my phone, that poor thing fought so hard for two hours to only get an hour nap.
Here she lays next to me in my bed at ten pm, sound asleep while I type away. I do however plan on putting her in her own bed for the rest of the night. Our home life is intertwined with my parents due to our home being under construction. So living with grandparents brings some challenges but it can all work out if everyone is on the same page.
What are your Toddler Stories when it comes to switching bedrooms? Anyone got any tips? Thank you for reading Mama's
