Crib Issues

Ever since Bea got sick, she refuses to sleep in her crib. On many attempts, you get the little sweet "no" from her if you try. She's really gotten accustomed to sleeping on the couch, but even though it can be super cute, hearing little footsteps on the hardwood floor at midnight or 1 as she is trying to find one of us frightens me. I'm not used to hearing that sound and the first thing that comes to mind is that there is an intruder in our home.

Anyway, Bea is finally on the mend. She broke her fever yesterday and it appears to be a minor cold. Some coughing and a little stuffy nose. She's still a little grumpy, but she is doing much better. She was as normal as normal could get this morning when I took her temperature: 98.6 on the dot. Now that she is definitely on the mend, we're going to attempt the crib tonight. We put her in it last night and she was fine for a couple of minutes and then started screaming. Usually seeing Olivia in her crib asleep will comfort her somewhat, knowing she won't be alone. Hasn't worked since she has been sick, hence the "no" that happens when trying to put her in it. I guess we will see what happens this evening.

And, speaking of Olivia, she did a 180 in her crib last night! You know what that means...next on the agenda is rolling over and then shortly thereafter, crawling. She's already growing up too fast for me, and it makes me sad.
