Why did we wait so long?
Well, this not being our first rodeo we felt since the girls have never attempted to climb out, why encourage them.
Since Miss Evelyn is such an early riser at 6am and there is no getting her to sleep in and Charley likes to occasionally sleep in. I was thinking it might be nice if she could just get up and go down stairs without waking the whole house up and considering the fact that when baby brother gets here I might be a tad more tired and not as willing to be up at 6am.
So, we decided to go for it and from our experience the older they are the more they understand and the more you can reason with them about staying in bed.
The first few weeks have been a win! The girls are doing great and even still napping well together in their big girl beds.
The only little hurtle we have found is that Charley likes to climb in bed with Evie, so I have been sure to check on them before I head to bed and move a sleeping someone back to her own bed.
Its funny how different their personalities are and that Evie like to sleep and get up early and Charley has been getting to wound up and full of spunk at bed time. She will sing and play in her room much long then Evie and will gladly sleep in.
My girls are growing up and that's just one more thing that puts them in the big girl category.

This is how i tend to find the sleeping beauties!
And, this is how I found them one morning, they had gotten up and proceeded to be playing a game quietly waiting for me to get up.
A mothers dream!
