Apples Don't Fall Far

Earlier this week Carolena yelled, "no!" at her crib and then was very adamant that she wanted to sleep on her "nap mat" (a.k.a. pile of blankets on the floor - her school nap mat stays in the car). She spent the next few naps and nights curled up on the floor right next to her crib.

A few times this week I asked her if she wanted to sleep in her crib. "No mama" was the repeated response.

* She's on a "mama" kick right now. Roo calls Kanga "mama" and thus, Carolena feels the need to do the same.

Today Carolena looked at me, said "all done crib," and then helped move all of her clothes and stuffed animals into her "big girl room." Luckily, Chris and I have had her twin bed set up in there for months.

After her bath this evening she brushed her teeth and we read Cat in the Hat in her twin bed. I sang a few songs and then left the room. She's currently sound asleep in her new room. No crying. No fussing. Carolena just decided on what she wanted to do and did it.

Yep, she's a Svendsen all right.
