We decided to switch Kyla to a toddler bed last night and she did soooo good! It's perfect timing too. Here's a funny story about that:
I went to Walmart yesterday morning to get a side railing (the white thing in the picture) for her crib (her crib converts into a toddler bed.) We were going to set it up when she woke up from her nap. Well, when Hyrum went in to get Kyla from her afternoon nap she was straddling the crib and almost climbed completely out! She's never once attempted to climb out of her crib (except when she was really little and then we just lowered the crib) except for today! It was amazing how perfect the timing was on deciding to switch her into a big girl bed before she started hurting herself by climbing out!
Anyway, we got Kyla all excited for switching her into her "Big Girl Bed" and she loved it! She was so excited to sleep on a pillow and she couldn't wait to actually get to bed for once! She only got up once about 10 minutes after we laid her in there. She was standing right by the door and it kinda startled me since I'm definitely not used to having her any where but in her crib but I laid her back down and she slept the rest of the night fine. Her afternoon nap today wasn't as easy but it only took her 1/2 an hr of playing and us going in there to lay her back down 3 times for her to be completely zonked out. I guess we'll see how well she does tonight! What a big girl!

What a cutie! So glad you have your crib for your next little bundle of joy!
That's good that you are getting her out of the crib. You should get her totally out of the crib and into another toddler bed. Or just do what we do, we put a twin bed on the floor, with a side railing, when our kids are ready to move into a big bed. We try to do this months (like 2 or 3) before the new baby comes. That way, they see it as they are a big kid now, rather than the baby is stealing their bed and another reason to be jealous and/or mad at the new baby. It can be hard, but sleep will be much better. And she'll be really proud of herself that she's in a big girl bed!
Yeah Kyla! Just in time to get adjusted for little Tayven to enter her life and take up all of Mom and Dad's energy. :)
