Big Girl’s Bed
Gracie is no longer in a cot, she has now moved to a toddler bed!! I’m so proud of her – it’s such a huge milestone!
She made the transition easily and once she is in bed she generally doesn’t get out again. Having recently dropped her lunchtime nap she is usually completely exhausted by bedtime at 7pm. On the first night Mark and I heard a thump upstairs at about 7.30pm, but as it wasn’t followed by tears or other noises we thought nothing of it until we went to check the kids before we turned in… Poor Gracie was asleep on the floor – she must have rolled out!
I remembered a little trick that my sister-in-law had mentioned so thought I’d give it a go. Kerry used to roll a towel and put it under the mattress on the outside edge so that the mattress was slightly raised. This means that if your child rolls in the night he/she will roll towards the wall and not out onto the floor. We have had no more rolling out issues since!
