SUCCESS!!! The last few weeks have really been easy. we have our routine down...we read books and I leave her awake. She is asleep within minutes. It is great! I am actually very glad this happened now instead of after Gavin was born. I think getting her through the last few weeks would have been more difficult with a newborn at home.
In any case I am glad she is fully used to her toddler bed and comfortable sleeping and napping in it.
18 more days until Gavin is here!
