Bye Bye Crib

Miss Pear got out of her crib last night, and face planted onto the carpet. She bit her lip, which bled profusely, but is okay. However, she will have nothing to do with her crib.

So the crib has been dismantled and removed from her room, and we just have her mattress in there with a pillow headboard until we get proper bed rails and therefore set up the bed safely (harder to find rails because her big girl bed will not have a box spring right away so it is lower for her).

So Mr. Pear is in there right now trying to convince her to sleep, my shift is coming up soon. She spent the night with us, wedged firmly against me, so sleep was very elusive. Fortunately, Mr. Pear telecommuted today, and only had to work a half day.

Any ideas on making this transition???

Update: Miss Pear napped in her rocking chair, sitting up - would have nothing to do with the mattress on the floor idea, so we set up her big girl bed. On the toddler setting, the top of the mattress is below my knee, so we are just going to put a pillow down in case she falls (but she cheerfully rolls off our couch onto a pillow which is about the same hight and then immediately does it again....) We positioned the bed so that the corner she would usually scoot to for sleep is against the wall, and let her pick which sheets (purple floral or purple) and which quilt (purple big girl quilt or baby quilt - both made by Mr. Pear's mom), and she is going to help make the bed.

We have the long weekend to make the transition, and we might need it, but we are praying the Lord would be merciful and it would go smoothly, especially considering that we are having Miss Pear's 2nd birthday party tomorrow - a small one with one other family who we are really close to, and another lady who is given the honorary title of Aunt.

Oh, and the lip is not swollen, and is not looking the least bit infected! Thank you Jesus!
