we just put DD into her Big Girl Bed last week!!! she is 2 years and 3 months old...

we decided to keep her in the cot for a bit longer than i would have initially thought simply because she is a mover and a shaker when she sleeps and before that i wasnt too sure how she would of coped with falling out (not that it is a big drop...). also, i kinda liked the fact that she couldnt go off running about the room and playing LOL!

Also, i waited until we had moved house (we were busy finding places for about 8 months) and she was settled.

I just did it on a whim on afternoon when DD was completey exhausted and begging to go to bed (rare occurence ROFL!) so i thought with her sooo tired and more likely to just crash asleep i gave it a go and we havent looked back!

in fact, i actually think she sleeps more soundly in her *knowlege* that she can get up and out when she wants rather than having to ask...we get about an extra 1/2 hour each morning now.
