the doverspikes: charli's big girl room

After months of agonizing and worrying about how best to transition my little bug into her big girl room and her "new" crib, the day finally came. I ran out of excuses & could no longer procrastinate when we got her "new" crib from my parents. It was the last piece. I was encouraged when the next day, she wanted to play in her new crib three times & even told me twice, "sleep new crib." The night I planned on trying it out, however, Rob (Bert) decided he wanted us to camp in the backyard. He got out the pop-up, put the pack n play in, and I was very hesitant. When I was all out of excuses as to why we shouldn't camp in our backyard, I gave in. We talked it up with Charli, she played in her pack n play a few times that evening, and when 9:15 hit, I asked her if she had sleepy eyes & she walked right to the camper, let us pray & put her in her pack n play and fell asleep! We didn't hear a peep from her the whole night! We all woke up fairly refreshed at 8 AM! Not too bad! All that to say, I guess I didn't really need to worry! That silly peanut can sleep anywhere, for which I am very thankful. So right now, as I type this, she's sound asleep for her very first nap in her "new" crib in her big girl room!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. -Philippians 4:6
