When we moved to Explo, we decided it was time for Lucy to start sleeping in a real bed - the pack and play is just a bit too flimsy for seven weeks of restless, toddler sleeping. We put an extra mattress on the floor next to her bed in case she rolls/falls/jumps off the big bed. Mostly, she's enjoyed jumping on the safety mattress.
Lucy's taken to the bed situation pretty well - she likes that Elliot and I can lay down next to her and enjoys rubbing our backs to help us go to bed too. I think this last detail bodes well for future shoulder massages, but I'm taking it one step at a time.
The other night, Lucy was especially quiet at bedtime - no fussing or asking for us to give her water, tuck her in, rub her back or any of the other standard delaying tactics. Nope, she just went straight to sleep. Except that when I went to check on her a couple of hours later, she was sleeping like this:
She woke up a couple of hours later, when we were asleep too, asking to get back into her bed, and Elliot was kind enough to oblige.
She also seems quite keen on taking the pillowcase off of the pillow, throwing it on the lower mattress and informing me that "it flell." I'm not sure that Lucy understands the difference between fall and throw quite yet....
