Yep you read that right. She decided to not go to sleep right away and got out of bed. This happens every now and then. She walks over to the door, cries a bit and knock on the door. I leave her there till she falls asleep and in about an hour I will go pick her up and put her in bed.
I have tried the whole putting her back in her bed thing but if I go in it works her up and then it's a hour and a half of her screaming. So I figure it's easier to just leave her.
Any suggestions on how to keep her in a toddler bed?

No advice, but we'll be joining you in this struggle soon! We have a twin mattress set up and ready to go in DD's room, just waiting to move out some of the furniture to make the room safer.
If DD gets out of bed and sleeps on the floor, I'll probably just throw a blanket over here and leave her there. LOL.
Buy a rug. DS was sleeping on the floor almost every night. We'd move him to bed and he'd climb out and lay back down on the floor. We had a smaller area rug so lots of hardwood exposed and he always laid on the floor. We got a new, bigger rug and suddenly he sleeps in his bed. WTH!
Sorry for the sarcasm and vent. It's been a long 2 weeks transitioning since he climbed out.
In all honesty, I didn't follow my own rule... If they are sleeping, don't worry about it. They must be comfortable or they couldn't sleep. They'll figure out the bed is more comfortable eventually.
Hey if my kid is fine in her crib, I sure as heIl won't go and mess that up.
Branching off topic, here, but MMHa made me remember something. I asked a cloth diaper question on the Cloth Diaper Channel Facebook page a while back and some lady was like, "Why are you even worried about fixing the diapers? Just potty train her!" And (in my head) I was like, HELL no. I've BTDT with potty training and I can tell ya that this kiddo ain't ready. I'd rather fix the diapers than mess with PT right now!

Hey I had to take DD1 out of her crib at 18 months because she would crib dive several times a night. I know all too well what you mean. I just meant if my kid is happy in her crib, then I won't transition her to another type of bed.
