Ella's growing up!

Ella had her first night in a bed last night, well, still the cot, but with one side off, so technically just like a bed. There were lots of tears when we first left her (mind you, she was asleep in about ten minutes) and a few more about an hour later when we think she fell out of bed (we had a mattress on the floor), and a few more a couple of hours later, but that was all we heard all night. I think she was more upset at being tucked in than anything else.
Thought we would try the daytime sleep as well, with one side off. That was a disaster, no sooner had we left the room had she gotten up, opened the door and managed to crash through the new safety gate we had just installed. So it was back on with the side of the cot and she was asleep in no time. Something to do with not having had one since Friday I think.
Will wait and see how we go tonight.....
