The whole transition in moving Maggie into her twin size bed has honestly gone much better than I thought it would....especially after the first night of her sleeping on the floor at the door. Poor thing. But each day, naptime has gotten better and each night, she's gone to bed a little smoother.
We have a new bedtime routine. Maggie walks into her room, she flips on her super cool flower nightlight (new since the bed), she climbs up into the bed and waits for me to get some books. We read 5 books every night and she's always looking for more (but we have to stop somewhere). Now, you'll remember that Maggie was never a big "rocker", except for those occasions where she would walk over to the rocking chair and ask to be rocked. Well...that certainly has changed. After we read, she wants to be rocked. Every night. Wow...what a smart little girl...she's figured out that it will prolong the inevitable ~ having to go to sleep. Oh, but I don't mind. I love cuddling with her, rocking her, brushing her hair, kissing her cheek, and singing sweet lullabies with her humming along. It's something I cherish, since I missed those early months of rocking with her. So, if she wants to rock, Momma's gonna rock.

AMEN! Sometimes I think about it and you know... this is the only time in their lives when they WILL be held and rocked... before they get too big, so rock on, Momma, rock on!
Yay! So happy to hear that the transition has gone well. I love, love, love rocking the babes. They have always preferred us to stand and sway or bounce them but now they will sometimes snuggle into us and be comforted by rocking or sit and read with us in the rocker. Such sweet, tender moments.
Love to you and your precious Maggie, Jen
