Nora’s New Athletics

Nora’s House has evolved… somehow she figured if she knocked it over, it would become a really janky indoor slide. And she can rock that slide from day to night. I’m amazed it’s still in tact. 

We had a game-changer today. While I was on my run, Tim put Nora down for her nap. After about 10 minutes of chatter, there was a bit of silence then Tim heard Nora say “Uh-Oh!” at the top of the stairs. Girlfriend nimbly made it out of the crib without a sound [better than a THUD?] and to the gate. 

While Tim was on his run, about 3pm I was about to go down the stairs when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. Then I realized my bedroom door was open from the light pouring into the hall. I walked into my bedroom and there was Nora, wandering around, bleary-eyed with bedhead. 

It’s time for a big-girl bed. It’s a bit earlier than I expected!

I’ve talked to a lof of my friends and almost all said they went straight to a “real” bed as opposed to a toddler bed. We’d purchased a toddler bed from a friend before knowing what this transition means. I think our plan will be to give Nora the full-sized guest bed and purchasing a queen bed for guests. [Sorry to all past overnight guests for the incredibly small full-size bed!].

Will let ya’ll know how it goes!

Did I mention Nora likes salads? Random.
