With my two girls so close in age, we transitioned Carys to a big girl room and bed pretty early. I did not want to buy another crib or a toddler bed that would only be used for a short while. Instead, I bought her a twin bed with a trundle. Carys actually slept on the trundle for a very long time and referred to her bed as "Gram's Bed" because that is where Grams slept when she visited. Well after Grams visited in October, Carys was ready to start sleeping in her bed.
Therefore we decided we would buy Ava the same set up and moved the trundle into the nursery. Ava's first nap over Thanksgiving was a little rough. I chose my week off because I had a feeling we would have some rough nights. Ava eventually would give in. This is how I found her the first time.
I picked her up and placed her in her comfortable bed with all her friends.
The next nap time, I found her in her bed. So sweet, my little Ava is growing up.
Thanksgiving also marked the time we took away the pacifier. Mrs Patty noticed that Ava was relying on it too much and started to not give it to her at daycare. We followed through at home with the same. It was rough, but sweet Ava did great.

Where's Carys? Little did we know when we chose the dresses that they matched Carys' bedspread!
With everyone's help, Thanksgiving was a huge success and the girls always love playing with their family.
