Let’s Talk Babies

Maya has always loved her crib.  She has slept in her crib very well from the day she got home from the hospital.  After spending a few days in her bassinet in our room at night and naps in her crib it became very clear that she slept better in her crib than she did in our room, so, we made the switch to the crib and have never looked back.

The crib is her bed, her place.  The idea of sleeping any where else never crosses her mind.  Even if offered the chance to sleep in Mommy and Daddy’s bed she passes on the chance and asks for her bed.  It is her safe place, her comfortable place, the place she loves to be.

We’ve talked about when we will make the big change to a toddler bed but since she still loves to sleep in her crib and has never even tried to climb out of it we figure why change something when it works so well the way it is.  That was until this past weekend when Maya learned this new trick.

Now, I am not surprised that, unlike most toddlers, she choose to figure out how to climb into her crib versus climbing out of it!  She sure does love that crib.

We’ve decided that since she still hasn’t even considered the idea of climbing out of her crib that we will leave things the way they are for now.  When she decides it is time to do away with the crib and move on to the “big girl” bed we’ll follow her down that path.  But for now I love that she still loves to sleep in her crib, it lets me pretend for a little while longer that she isn’t growing up way too fast.
