Well, we followed through on this post.
Night #1:
Sammy takes close to 2 hours to stop playing and go to sleep. She plays with every toy in her toybox. She reads almost every book in her bookcase (and there are a LOT). She tries on several outfits from her dresser. At one point I go in there and there are about 30 books on the floor and she's got a sweater on and is asking for help snapping up her jeans...like she's about to go out or something. I fear I've made a terrible mistake. The feeling is confirmed when she falls out of bed not once, not twice, but SIX separate times during the night. When I get up the next morning, I'm so tired that I think I will throw up. Ironically, Presley sleeps through the night for the first time in weeks.
Night #2:
Sammy is silent and falls asleep right away. Wakes up 30 minutes later in a tizzy that requires several potty trips, water breaks and other fake outs designed to prolong going back to bed. After that though? Silence until 645am. Presley also sleeps through the night. Sadly, I don't and am up a million times making sure Sam isn't falling out of her crib or close to it. How does one go about sleep training themselves?
Night #3:
Sammy goes down without a peep and sleeps straight through till 630am.
Dare I say it? Could it be this easy?
HA! Now I've gone and done it...jinxed us.

PJ has been in a big boy bed since September, recently upgraded to a twin in March. The past week or so he's been fighting going to sleep. Last night it took me nearly an hour. Sigh.
It's probably not that easy.
That's not bad for day 3! My fingers are crossed that she continues with the no peep sleeps! :)
Took my oldest three days, so this could be it. With that said, all three of mine love to use going to the potty as an excuse to get out of bed, and I let them because what if.
I have no experience with this, so I will just repeat what I've always said. I love Sammy. The idea of her pulling on a sweater and jeans at 3am makes me giggle.
Presley's doing her part to help with the transition! :)
That's amazing! I guess the novelty of playing in the dark can wear off that fast. We're making the switch soon.
Oh man did night one ever make me laugh!! I remember we had already "broken" Chicken when he switched over because of the camping/play pen gong show. We have a temporary railing on his bed to prevent falling out. Anyways usually most things with kids take three nights so I think you are now in the clear!! And yay for Presley sleeping through the night!!!
Hopefully you didn't jinx yourself ;-) I'm hoping both girls keep it up!
Late to the post, but I LOVE IT! And I'm now filled with hope for our future ;) I'm also laughing really hard at Sammy getting dressed to go out...
