New sleeping arrangements

On Thursday November 29th, Jessica Marie slept all night in the "big girl bed".  We were so surprised as we have attempted this transition numerous times & each time she was too scared to stay in bed, we resorted to letting her sleep in her crib.  I must say that she looked small in the twin bed, but she is certainly big enough.  I was too scared to try to snap some pics of her in the bed, I was afraid I'd wake her & then we'd be back to square one.  So some snapshots of her outdoors will have to do.  She was very proud of her accomplishment & even told her teachers at school that she slept in her big girl bed.  Ella girl went to Jessie's room & slept all night too.  Maybe it was a coincidence, but maybe they just both needed a change.  As I type this, I'm probably jinxing myself & now they probably will both be up tonight.  The next big change will be hanging her beloved "paci" on the Christmas tree.  I know, gasp, she's almost 3 & still using one when she sleeps.  With 2 kids so close I think I've just kind of let some battles go.  From 22-27 months she didn't use one at all, that was until we left for Brazil.  I left one just in case our 10 day absence got too much for Michael's parents & she needed it.  Well, Jessie needed it to sleep there, it has been a battle since we got back to get rid of it again & with Ella not sleeping the last 6 months, I've had to do what I had to do!  I figure the deal of letting Santa take all the pacis in our house to some little tiny babies who need them & getting a new toy in return may work....we shall see how they both do with this.  So proud of my Jessie girl for sleeping in the big girl bed :)
