Lorelei’s Mimi and Pa (my parents) bought L this AWESOME toddler bed as part of her birthday present. See the cuteness? I was quite surprised at exactly HOW short and small it would be. Oh, and that face? Yes. I’m not quite sure what that’s about. Could be the pickle she’s eating.
So, new pretty and awesome bed:

And, where she actually slept:

UPDATE: We introduced the new bed to her on Wednesday and LAST NIGHT she actually slept in it! - Only crying once at 5am, but then going back to bed IN HER BED (and on her own accord) after lots of hugs and a quick trip down the hallway with me to see that indeed everyone else was STILL ASLEEP!
Welcome back!

I love my toddler bed. The best part is that you don’t have to get new sheets or anything because it’s the same size as the crib!

Oh yes… totally been down that path - with both of my daughters. The first one transitioned fairly well into the bed, but LOVED roaming the hallways whenever she woke up. Um - no way!
When she began to get belligerent, we had to lock the door to her room at night so she’d stay safe…
The second munchkin loved doing any thing the first munchkin did - so if her sister stayed in bed, she did too. Of course, we did have our fair share of meltdowns and tantrums… and a few door locking evenings, but not as many as #1.
Hope this works for you in a few years…

Woohoo! What a beautiful bed. So glad to hear she’s transitioning well (knock on wood).
