Meg, we transitioned dd right at 2 because we needed the crib for this guy- my only advice would be to do it enough away from the baby getting the crib so that she doesn't feel like the baby is taking her stuff as much as she's getting big girl stuff first... good luck! the only trick was at 2, they're too young to understand rewards the next day for staying in bed. We were lucky for the first 5-6 months she stayed in bed just fine (stay in bed and the door stays open), but then she started getting up.... we implemented ferber's toddler method which worked wonders and still does--
first night- if you get up, i'm closing the door for 1 minute, then 2 minute, then 4... and then the second night you start at 2 minutes then 4... etc
