Thursday was Emily's last day in the crib as Friday night, she went to sleep in her big girl bed. She was pretty excited about the transition, as we talked it up all week, until she actually got in the bed - and then the screaming began! Elizabeth, though, got her through the ordeal. We expected crying for a long time but it stopped within a minute or two as we heard Elizabeth calming Emily - "it's okay Emily, Mommy will come check you later, Mommy will come get you in the morning" - and so on. For as difficult as Elizabeth has been the last few weeks, it was refreshing to hear consoling and calming her sister, rather than pushing her or yelling at her. There's no denying the sisterly bond they have.

This is an adjustment for both girls - Elizabeth has been sleeping in the top bunk for a few weeks now, so she quickly showed Emily the ropes.
Time to climb into bed!
Sleeping peacefully (around 11 p.m.)
A little bed head, but happy nonetheless. She was pretty pleased with herself. Here's hoping that nap time goes smoothly today!
