So a week ago a momentous day in Maddie’s life. We dismantled the cot and now she has a “big girls bed”. Because we had always used sleep bags Maddie had never managed to get out of her cot however that’s all changed now. Most nights this week it has taken several hours to get her down (including the threat of bringing the cot back!) with her new found ability to get out of bed becoming very annoying. Not quite as annoying though as her getting up at the crack of dawn (usually around 6am at the moment) and appearing in our bedroom, waking us up and wondering why we are quite grumpy! It doesn’t help that it gets light so early but we need to plan to nip this in the bud so we can get some sleep!
