Both the girls now have big girl beds. I didn't want to do it, but I had to. Ava already had a big girl bed, but Lucy started climbing out of her crib a lot, probably 5 times a day. I didn't want her to get hurt climbing out, so we made the transition. Now her and Ava think this is just great. They have the ability to get out of their beds with no problem. Chris and I found them happily trying to wake up their big sister at 8:45 pm last night, and then they were giggling when we told them to go back to bed. (we actually out them to bed at 7:00 every night.) They got out of their beds many times until about 9:30, then they decided to stay. I know I have quite a challenge ahead of me trying to keep these girls in their beds, but at least I can feel better about Lucy not getting hurt while her and Ava are getting into mischief.

Oh, I would also like to note that Lucy is the instigator in all of this. After I had put them back to bed for the 8th time last night, I stayed and listened by the door. This is what I heard.

Lucy: "Sissy, down."
Ava: No response
Lucy: "Sissy, get down."
Ava: No response
Lucy: "Sissy, DOWN!" I hear her giggling
Ava: Giggling
Then I hear thump, thump. The door opens, they see me, laugh hysterically and close the door and then laugh some more.
