Daddy the enforcer!

So we have moved Holly into her cute little toddler bed, but it has been a real struggle. She really likes her freedom and has missed several naps because she has gotten up to play. Yesterday she took a nap after pulling her pillow and blanket off her bed and laying down right next to her door with her Dot Dot, Cow, and Bunny. So daddy and I have had enough and have finally figured out a punishment that actually affects that child. Daddy takes away her babies! Every time he goes in to check on her and shes not in her bed he takes a baby. First cow, then bunny and then the most painful Dot Dot! It kills him every time he has to take away Dot Dot because that one really upsets her (the other two are just warnings). Last night daddy had to take Dot away and she screamed and when she finally calmed down and had stayed in bed for a while he gave Dot back to her. This morning when she woke up I took her to the store with me and she wouldn't leave her Dot Dot for a minute. I think we might have found something that actually works!
