Phase II since Mabel was simply climbing/falling out of her cot with one side off we have decided to go the whole hog and put her in a proper bed, the futon. Still a bit of a problem settling as she seems to have changed her bed time forward to around 7, and then we still have a bit if crying before she flings herself back to bed.

Had a rude awakening, slight sound from Mabel’s room then our bedroom door opened to see a smiling squiggle! or maybe the expression was look how clever I am, climbing quietly out of my cot and then opening doors to some to your bed!

So it is time for the side to come off the cot, move a stair gate to Mabel’s bedroom door and big girl bed time.
