Growing up

So here is my big girl in her big girl bed in her big girl room. The walls are still not painted and her bedding is not completed so bear with me. I just had to talk about how well Lydia is doing with the transition. We read her three stories, snuggle while we say good night then lay her down. She has been coming to the door and when she cannot open it (because her evil mommy is holding the door knob) she sometimes will go sit in front of her bookcase and read for a few minutes but most of the time just crawls back into bed and sleeps! Last two nights she has not even tried the door!
But as with everything, one step forward, one step back...we are still dealing with her big temper. Screaming, hitting, pinching, throwing herself down on the floor and the biting has slowed down but not gone away. She has finally caught on to time out. The last two times I put her there she was able to tell me afterwards WHY she was there. So I am hoping this is a big breakthrough and will help out some...upcoming post...first haircut...
