Great just great

Ds figured out how to get out of his crib tonight and simultaneously figured out how to turn a door handle to open the door. So now it's 10:30 and he's sitting in my lap. Sigh. I guess we're just going baptism by fire with the toddler bed since if he can get out of the bed, I'd rather it be a bed 6 inches from the floor then one 4 ft from the floor. This is going to be a very long night and I anticipate a very early morning. And I really had things to do tonight and tomorrow.

Sorry pity party over here.

    DS actually started climbing out at around 12 months regularly (yes, he's a monkey), but since he rolled around so much, we were still afriad of the toddler bed. We just kept putting him back in and telling him it was night night time. Sometimes he'd stay in, others we'd put him in 50 times. We just finally took the crib down this week and made it a toddler bed, but he just rolls right out. So this weekend we're taking it down and just putting the matress on the floor. But he still comes out, some nights less than others though. Hopefully you're little one will do alright......just keep telling him its night night time and show no emotions. Eventually he'll just go to sleep. GL!

    I vote for chicken wire over the top of the crib and duct tape.

    We moved #1 into a regular sized twin bed at 21 months (we got a low bed and no boxspring (they don't need it until they're bigger anyway).  We baby-proofed his room and put a gate up at the door.  (We moved him a few months before #2 came, so he didn't associate moving out of the crib with the new baby).

    It was smooth sailing, with a few rough spots, but a few tricks from SuperNanny, and he's been a CHAMP at sleeping in his bed.  I'd say a total of 5 times in the past 20 months he's come into our room at night. 

    And now we have a gate at the stairs, since we've found him in the kitchen a few mornings eating Yummy Earth suckers for breakfast, LOL!
