Update: A Bed Time Tale

The first night in toddler beds really went pretty well. A few incidents, but not as bad as it could have been. Bryan sat with them until they were almost asleep. Then, we went to check on them before we went to bed. When we did, this is what we found:
Emma, sound asleep on the floor.

We have no idea when she fell out of bed because we never heard her cry, but there she was. Bryan carefully picked her up and tucked her back in bed. She hardly even noticed he moved her.

About an hour later, we heard cries on the baby monitor. Bryan went to check and found Ella sitting on the floor by her bed with a very confused and sleepy look on her face. It looked like she was thinking, "How did I get here? And how do I get back in my bed?" He rocked her for a little bit before tucking her back in bed also. (We didn't get pictures of this.)

Around 6:00 a.m., Ella cried again because she couldn't find her horse. (However, when I went in, she was standing in her bed.) Even after I found it, she didn't want to go back to bed, so we slept together for a couple of hours on the couch. When I went to get Emma up, she was laying in sister's bed, just hanging out, until we came to get her.

I would call the first night in toddler beds a success. Hopefully, they will soon learn how to stay in the bed and not fall out.
