So on and off the first 2 years of her life Ana co-slept with us. After her diagnosis it ended up pretty much staying that way. In my opinion it was just easier because we had 3 other people in our home to worry about keeping awake with having our toddler cry it out.
Over the past few months we have been casually mentioning how nice it would be for Ana to have her own space, aka her own bed. She even picked out which bed she would want if we got her one. Well Friday we finally bought it for her.
The first night was hard. She was so excited at first but then she started whining that she wanted to sleep with Alex and I. That broke my heart. Finally she fell asleep and only woke twice during the night. 1 was for her usual cup and 2 was to go potty.
Last night she woke up once and was just whining in her sleep, which she has already done once tonight as well. However she has stayed in her bed! I am so proud of her!
I am also praying that this will be permanent, because I am liking not having my 3 year old try to push me out of bed!
She has grown up so fast! We are so glad though that she likes sleeping in her bed, and grateful it wasn't a hard transition.
Phew!
