On the first night in their toddler bed, Claire woke up overnight got out of bed. Audrey stayed in bed and patted the space next to her, calling out for "sissy". Audrey has also tucked Claire in- it is really sweet.
Surprisingly, the move to the toddler beds seem to be the catalyst for sleeping through the night. The girls have gotten up once or twice since the transition. It is really strange too- they no longer want milk overnight, they tend to want cheese (pepperjack is their favorite).
All of this awesome news comes with a downside though, we are in the midst of a nap strike. They have been terrible at napping since the transition- there are too many fun activities to partake in, like trapping your sister in the closet, emptying out the contents of your drawers, and putting on your winter boots and bashing your feet against the door. I'm hoping that once the novelty of freedom wears off they will choose to nap again.
They have taken 2 naps since the strike- one on Friday (we went to visit some friends on Thursday night and stayed out past their bedtime) and one today. They had been playing for about 90 minutes and then got worn out decided to sleep on the floor in front of their door.
I'm ok with them having quiet time instead of nap time, but they are incredibly irritable by 4:00 if they don't nap.
