our new adventure

My husband and I have a one year old daughter, who is so precious and loving. We just had her first birthday party a few days ago, and we are entering a new phase with her. Up until now she has slept in the bed with us, but the other night I decided that it was time for her to learn to sleep in her own bed. The first night was not a complete success. There is a twin bed in her room so I decided that I would lay in there with her for the first few nights. The first night she cried for a little over an hour before finally giving in and going to sleep. She slept for about forty minutes then woke up screaming and so we went and got in the bed with dad. However, I was still pleased that she actually went to sleep even if it was for just a little bit. So last night I decided to try again. To my surprise she only fussed for about five minutes and then slept the whole night in her crib. I was so excited. So far today she has taken her morning nap in her crib and is at this moment she is taking her afternoon nap in there also. This has been too easy and I am not going to claim victory just yet. If this works it will be a huge help. I will be able to get things done while she is asleep, because usually her daily naps are spent in my arms (although I didn't really mind.)

New to this

I am new to all of this so I am still trying to figure out what to do. I will figure it out eventually.
