The "Big Girl Bed"

So, Eva is 29 months old now and we felt that it was time to get her the "Big Girl Bed". After trying all the beds in IKEA for about an hour, we finally left with one and then some..
The bed is up and sooo cute! Beautiful white wooden bed, bright pink little bed set covered in multi colored hearts, big fluffy pillows and ten of Eva's favorite furry friends. She just loved it!!! So whats the problem?? THE KID WON'T STAY IN IT!!!!

This is her first nap in her new bed so after putting her back in the bed 10 times I decided to stay in the room until she fell asleep. Well it worked but I'm not doing this every day! I did a little research and from what I read, the best thing to do is to be repetitive and without much talking but the child back in the bed. Do this as many times as it takes because if the child knows that it's playing with your emotions they will continue to get out of the bed. SOOO tonight I will see how this goes.
