Success.

I think we got very very lucky. Miss Thing only got out of bed a few times. We would gently take her back to her new bed and tell her "good-night". Within 45 minutes, she was sound asleep. She even covered herself up with her new princess blanket. She was up a bit earlier than usual, but I attribute that to her sleeping so soundly due to not having a nap yesterday.
Speaking of naps, we'll see if she takes one today. She's usually a very serious napper, I am hopeful that continues.
I can't believe my baby girl is out of the crib and in a big-girl bed. Next we tackle the potty training!!!
