New sleeping arrangements

It's Abigail's first night sleeping in her new crib in her new "big sister" bedroom. Cross your fingers all goes well because there's no turning back.

I'm hoping for three things in particular.
1. That she falls asleep without crying.
2. That she stays asleep through the night.
3. That she doesn't wake up earlier than I do.

I set up the inside of her crib exactly how it always is except that tonight I forgot to put in a few books for her. I hope that doesn't turn out to be a problem. Also, her previous room was super dark and was practically pitch black any time she was sleeping. This new room is really bright. Brighter paint color, bigger windows, and no curtains yet. If she wakes up with the sun I'm going to take advantage of our early start and find some blackout curtains ASAP.

throwing her blanket over and on top of her head

the status update:

1. she fell asleep an hour after i put her down.  no crying, just a lot of playing with thomas and toby and getting situated.

2. she slept straight through the night just like she always does.

3. she woke up at least an hour after i did.  i can't remember exactly but sometime in the 9 o'clock hour.

ps- we just ordered this video monitor this past week... for this very reason.  and for when we transition her to a twin bed in a few months... or whenever she tells us she's ready.
