Jambeans has been undergoing a bit of sleep training of her own recently, in preparation for the day we turn her cot into a cot bed.
She's outgrown her sleeping bag so we bought her a new duvet and pillow at the weekend. Jasmine chose the covers (thankfully, the lovely blue train pattern as opposed to gopping pink fairy) and absolutely loves her duvet. We've been breaking her in gently, so for the first few days she would happily lie under it, giggling, on the living room floor, on our bed, in Felix' room, anywhere basically, but she got a bit anxious when at bedtime we bundled it into her cot and bundled her in shortly after. She took a while to settle and when we went to check we found her enjoying the freedom of being released from the sleeping bag for the first time: fast asleep, pyjama bottoms off, forehead down, bum in the air on top of the duvet.
But last night she got the hang of it and managed to stay under the duvet all night, and reassuringly, in one basic position rather than the usual 360 degree travels round her cot she normally does in the night.
She's also shown an increasing tendency to do her own stuff in her cot after we've put her down at bedtime - chatting to the vast menagerie of animals she's amassed, reading the books she also insists on taking into the cot with her. Now I think of it, there is an inordinate amount of stuff in her cot. If ever I've lost something that's going to be the first place I look.
