Moving from a cot to a big bed

Okay, so I know everyone does it, but how do you keep your toddlers in there big girl/boy beds??

Nights 1 - 3 were perfect, night 4 (tonight) we've had escape after escape and Daddy is now sitting with her until she falls asleep. Today was also the first daycare day since she went in so could be a bit of seperation anxiety and wanting to be near us but over an hour of crying and escaping is a little bit too much for me to handle (and I know she's capable of a lot longer - she did it in the cot when I stopped night feeds and was trying to settle her, think 2 hours was the limit).

Sorry, but of a rant but at nearly 33 weeks pregnant I just want 10 minutes to myself for a cuppa and some chocolate before bed, not to be sitting around still in my work clothes at nearly 9 o'clock (which is my bedtime to make up for the 10 trips to the loo each night)....... So any advice would be gladly welcome!! At the moment it could be a drive in the car hoping for an easy transfer :wall:.
