Big Girl Bed

As I noted in an earlier post, Ellie does not like being put down to sleep in her bed, bassinet, boppy seat, swing, carseat, etc... She prefers sleeping on mine or Ryan's chests or right next to us in the bed (only after she has fallen asleep on our chests first and we roll her off to lay beside us). Today I was rocking her in her nursery and she was in a deep sleep and Ryan came in and said lets put her in her crib and see what happens. Translation: Put her in her crib and if she wakes up wailing like a wild jungle animal, no biggie for me because Libby will have to get her calmed back down! JUST KIDDING RYAN!!!! (He has done his fair share of calming down our little wild banshee!) Anyway, so we carefully put her in her crib and for those of you familiar with the Zaky...we put both of those in there and covered her up. And we watched..... and watched..... and watched....!!!! To our amazement nothing happened. She moved a little and even opened her eyes, but she stayed in there. For a whole 37 minutes! It was so exciting. When she did wake up we both ran in and were so excited telling her what a good job she did and what a big girl she was! Apparently she is only good for one stellar performance. I tried it again at her next nap and her eyes immediately snapped open as if to say, "Nice try mom, but it ain't happenin!" Oh well, there's tomorrow I guess.
