***Hey Goldie***

I noticed in one your previous responses that you mentioned your twins are still in a crib.   How do you do it?  Do they try to climb out?

I know it is way out there for us still, but I am planning to keep the twins in their cribs for as long as possible as 1) we just don't have to space to put 2 toddler beds in their room and would have to do bunkbeds which scare me, 2) transitioing DS#1 to a toddler bed was awful and I can't imagine going through that again with two of them, and 3) unfortunately this lovely housing market out here in AZ has us trapped in our 3 bdrm house for a while longer than we originally anticipated so moving to a bigger house is not an option.

Just curious, thanks!

the twins COULD climb out if they really tried but so far they haven't... Grayson looks like he might try soon and if he does- i'll be getting crib tents- b/c i want them in their cribs until they are much closer to 3yo.

My older son transitioned out to a toddler bed when he was about 2mo shy of 3yo... so he totally understood everything and he did great.

We use Angelcare montiors- which helped a LOT to the toddler bed transition b/c we'd know if he got out of the bed and was walking around- and he KNEW the alarm would go off- so he never got out of bed - he'd call for us if he needed something. It was awesome.  We hope the twins will be similar

Toddler beds are just as big as cribs- so space shouldn't be an issue.  It's twin beds that are bigger.... we'll do bunk beds eventually- but waiting until they are about 4-5yo at least for bunks.
