Bed Time

I do not understand how, why or what, but bedtime has gotten so SOOOO much easier in the last few weeks.  We decided that our current sleeping arrangement wasn't working anymore. Fiona is just getting too big to be in bed with us. Mike just finally started sleeping on the couch, poor guy. So we made the decision to drag out her toddler bed mattress. We set it in the corner surrounded by some of her favorite stuffed toys and pillows. So now she does really well. We would lay with her (on the floor - not so comfortable, just sayin') until she went to sleep. That is until one glorious night when I had to run to the bathroom, when I got back (seriously it was only a couple of minutes) she was asleep. Well we heard angels singing a glorious tune... we no longer have to sit with her until she falls asleep. Now bedtime consists of reading a book, saying a prayer, a small sip of water, singing a song then hugs and kisses and we go out. She will even go to the bathroom by herself in the middle of the night without waking us or anything, since we got the nightlight for the bathroom anyways. Sniff when did my sweet little baby grow up so much???
I now have so much time before bed, I have no idea what to do with myself...
