Big Girl Bed

We figured since we were in a period of major life transitions why not make another one and switch Brooke to a twin bed. After her nap today we took apart her crib. We have definitely got our money out of this crib since we purchased it in the fall of 2001.
Brooke was very proud of her big girl bed and we were optimistic that bedtime would go smoothly.
At bedtime Brooke told Brad, "you leave, nobody". She was quiet for the next hour and then started calling me to tell me that her diaper was wet. We spent several hours on the potty today...1 successful visit and about 3 wet pairs of undies...but several 3 hour periods of staying dry. Not a great first day but not bad. The best thing is that she is fairly cooperative about sitting on the potty.
It's amazing how much older she looks sleeping in a bed and not her converted crib. She is pretty happy to be in "Penna's ole bed!" (Mckenna's old bed).
