No more crib nights

Everett slept his very last night in in his crib on Thursday. :o( He was super excited to have a mattress on his race car bed so he spent several hours playing on it, with all his toys.
Our bedtime routine was usual tonight....Ev grabbed Pooh, his blankie and headed to bed. We half expected to hear him playing with toys thoughout the night; after all, there are no more crib rails to keep him contained . We even considered he might fall alseep on the floor.
All things considered, we braced bookcases, installed childproof outlets, childproof door knobs, a baby gate and said a little prayer for his safety.
This morning at 6:30 a.m. we heard his "I'm up"calls. Much to our suprise, every toy was in place and our Everett was sitting up, waiting to be invited out of bed. Perfection.

too cute!!!
Well done girls. I am dreading the day we put the boys in a toddler bed. I'm SURE they will get out of bed, and cause havoc in their room. I hope our transition is as smooth as yours. I hope your success continues :)
Well done again!!

Ah, this is about the age L went to a bed. That is, after she got "hung up" by the foot climbing out for the second time!

There may be a few trials of hopping out of bed in the next few days, but I think you'll be happy the transition is done once baby E2 arrives. -AP
