Do your kids sleep in a bed that's made with tucked in blankets and all? DO they stay that way? I tried briefly with Ben but he pulled it all out - he's in a toddler car shaped bed if that makes a difference.
But he still thrashes around a lot. I see him sometimes sideways, upside down, etc.... And he loves blankets, and needs them, but then ends up with them off. And this morning he got up early and when I brought him back to his room it was cold in there - his new room is over the garage - and when I tucked him back in he slept for another 1 1/2 hours.
So, do your kids manage their own covers? OR should I go in and cover him up when I get up to pee at 4 AM? I figure I'm going to be up in th emiddle of the night for the next year, so I could go in and put blankets on I guess....

Re: moms of toddlers not in cribs...
Sorry to butt in Jill, but when do babies start using covers?
Yeah, Ben's bed is full of stuff too! And sometimes he'll be like "oh I forgot someone!" and we have to go look for some other guy to put in there.
We haven't turned our heat on yet. It'll be interesting to ese how that room does with the heat - it's farthest away from the furnace I think so it gets the air last. This wonky weather has been so weird - since it seems stuffy when we go to bed, then it cools off so much overnight.
yes, but I had the same question when 1st plannin on switching over. When I ordered her toddler bed set, it came with a flat and fitted sheet, along with a comforter. The flat sheet that came with it actually is fitted at the bottom, that way it stays tucked in. (I LOVE that!) The comforter too is fitted at the end so it also stays on the bed. My Grandma made another flat sheet since you can't find them anywhere for the toddler size, but it's not fitted at the one end, and it really helps to keep the covers on, so I'm going to buy a fitted sheet and just have her cut off the top fitted part and hem a seam. VOILA!
Audrey does sometimes end up sideways and the like, but we do go in and tuck her back in when we go to bed. You could do the same when you get up to pee and/or change and feed the baby once he arrives.
I'll need to add a blanket for the winter.... I gotta find one that'll fit right. hmm, maybe I'll ask my Grandma to make something again.....
What kind of blankets do you have on there now?
When Jack was in a toddler bed he had a little blanket over him but it wouldn't stay on. When we converted his crib further to the full-sized bed, he got a top sheet and blanket. They are tucked in and as soon as we did that, he stayed covered most nights. I do check on him now when I'm going in to Cole's room and only periodically do I have to cover him back up.
I put Alex in the that toddler bed when he was almost 3 and with a blanket - but never tucked in. He spun around and around, and no I never woke up and went in...I kept him in warm jammies and socks/slippers
Plus I never kept my house below 68 degrees - so never a problem
