Annika is turning into a big girl

So Monday night I decided (and I'm not sure what made me decide to do this) to convert the crib to a toddler bed. We plan on getting a different bed for her in the next month or so, that way we can use the crib with Connor. While converting the crib, Annika of course had to "help" me but she was so excited about getting a "big girl bed." We are very into being a big girl at the moment. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with how well she did! She stayed in bed all night and went right to sleep (except she did fall out once and scared herself) and wouldn't get out of bed until I walked into her room. I had put the baby gate up in her doorway just to ensure that if she got up, she couldn't get into anything but her toys. Nap time the next day went awesome as well and last night's bed time. She just simply goes right to sleep and still won't get out of her bed until I get her out. I even went in there this morning and told her she could play with toys because I wasn't ready to get her out of her room just yet, she still didn't get out of bed lol. Guess the next step in this new "big girl" adventure is to get her completely potty trained. She is doing great at peeing in the potty (well when I make her lol), so I guess I should stop being lazy and really get the ball moving! So if any of you other mom's have any great tricks let me know :D
