I must say that we've been blessed with a pretty easy child. There I was, reading all these resourceful online articles outlining a successful transition from a playpen into the crib, how traumatic it may be for an infant; I was mentally preparing myself for some serious hissy fits, screaming, and refusing to sleep. And what do I get instead? The complete opposite.

Yesterday I placed Natasha in her crib, equipped with her blankie, soother, and the orange monkey she sleeps with. I then left only to return five minutes later and find a sleeping baby. What?! That was too easy, Natasha. Where is the challenge in all this? I shouldn't be complaining as I am sure many parents would LOVE to have such an easy baby, so I guess we're somewhat lucky with her. And later in the day she took another peaceful nap in her crib, and at this very moment she's taking her morning catnap in there.

So just wanted to post an update! For some additional tips on making a similar transition from a bassinet into the cirb, this article might helpful.
