When Natalie turned two, she graduated to a big girl bed in her big girl room! She was already very familiar with the "purple room" from when we were decorating it. As you can see, the Purple Room is appropriately named.
Natalie has done very well in her new room. She seems to enjoy sleeping in her new bed (with purple sheets, of course). We have a new bedtime routine now that no longer involves a rocker in her bedroom, but instead includes reading books in bed with mom or dad. She also reads a couple to herself after we leave the room, especially at naptime. She also still won't get out of bed before we come into the room. I guess we should enjoy that while it lasts... it won't be long until we wake up to her standing right beside us in our own bedroom.
The successful transition happened at a great time. Hopefully she won't mind when her little brother sleeps in her old bed. I guess we'll find out :-)
