Yeah, so last night, Alan moved the crib into the bedroom. It’s a convertible. It changes to a toddler day bed sort of thing and then she can use the back as a headboard with a full size mattress when she gets older.

Isabelle was super excited about it. She climbed in and piled her toys into it and pulled up a blanket and pretended to sleep. But when it came time for bed…she didn’t want to be there.

So, back into our bed she came. And, yes, she still nurses to sleep. Honestly, I can’t even tell if she’s getting any milk but that’s how she’s used to falling asleep. I really thought we’d be done with it by now. But I wasn’t really in a rush to stop because I always hoped we’d get pregnant again and I didn’t want to start fresh so to speak. It took us so long to get nursing down that I absolutely dreaded having to start over with a new baby. So, I’m not going to try to stop her now.

We woke up this morning and I asked Isabelle, why didn’t you want to sleep in your bed? Isabelle’s reply, I want milk and I’m scared. So I said, how about tonight we put your bed right up next to mommy and daddy’s bed?. She was all like, OK!

We’re seriously thinking about getting a mattress to butt up right against our bed. We actually went looking yesterday. But there are so many choices. Isabelle jumped around on a few mattresses but then we left the store without choosing anything.

So, we’ll try again tonight with her little bed right up against ours.
