Big Girl Bed: Trials and Tribulations

A few weeks ago, Greg busted out his tool box and converted the rail on Avery's crib to a toddler rail. We've really built up Avery's "big girl bed" to her and she's done very well with following the main rule: no getting out of bed unless Mommy or Daddy is there. Apparently, however, I need to institute a new rule ASAP: no falling out of bed in the middle of the night! My poor baby has taken two spills out of her bed over the last two nights. Both times, she's just stayed where she landed on the floor, fast asleep. She doesn't seem to hurt herself, and last night she even broke her fall on the pillow I placed on the floor, just in case. Not wanting to continue to chance it, today we're heading to Target to purchase a bike helmet for bedtime. Don't worry, we'll get a pink one to coordinate with her Minnie Mouse jammies!
