So - we decided to switch the cribs around last night....make E's into a toddler bed for A and give E, A's crib. (it was a bit of work - given that both cribs had to be taken almost completely apart) We felt A was ready for the toddler bed - hope we were not wrong. She was super excited about the bed last night - but don't be deceived by this face - she was utterly distraught when it was actually time to go to bed. I sat in her room with her and tried to reason with her and calm her down for about 20 minutes (didn't work) - so E took over and spent over an hour in her room with her trying to help her realize it was okay to sleep in this bed, calm down and get her to go to sleep. I was ready to give up and turn it back into a crib.....but we decided to give it one more try - just lay her down, walk away and tell her it was time for bed - IT WORKED! - And at 6:55 am this morning she came trotting into our room - saying "I awake, I awake". We'll see how the nap goes this afternoon - wish me luck.
