New bed for the princess

So a few weeks ago, we tried to send Lindsay to bed without her pacifier. That did not go over very well. She was angry. Very, very angry. So mad, in fact, that as we were downstairs trying to let her cry it out, we heard a thud, and then she sounded much closer to the door. When Chris went to investigate, she was definitely out of her bed (and still extremely angry.) At which point we reluctantly relinquished the pacifier, and sent her sucking sniffily to bed.  We're pretty sure that it scared her (at least a little), and didn't have any more escape attempts for a while.

Then, a couple weeks later we were at babies r us and I noticed that they had a Disney princess bed (still in the box) in the clearance section. I jokingly asked Chris how much he thought it was. So we asked...(our first mistake). It was 30% plus they were giving an extra 20% that day. So we folded, and bought the bed. We didn't have a mattress for it, so we just stuck it in the garage (we weren't in a huge hurry as she hadn't climbed out again).

Never let it be said that Lindsay is oblivious to what goes on around her. That night she climbed out of her pack n play 3 different times, plus again in the morning.  And naturally, my brilliant child left her pacifier in the bed when she climbed out. So of course she was angry about that. But to make matters worse, she wasn't falling and making thuds anymore. She had become quite ninja-esque. Since we still didn't have a mattress, we simply took the bottom mat out of the pack and play and she slept on that on the floor for a week or so, until we could get a mattress and sheets and the bed put together.

Here she is getting ready to sleep in her big girl bed. Or next to. Or on the floor in front of her door. whatever.
