The Drama of the Big Boy Bed??



Ok, so near the end of March Kyler learned how to climb out of his crib, much to the chagrin of his parents!! And so, we decided to borrow a toddler bed so he would stop climbing/falling out of his crib. Well, the toddler bed proved to be more dangerous than the crib because it didn't have any side rails! So during the night Kyler would end up falling off and rolling underneath the kids table. Or he would roll off and then come into our room at odd hours of the night!!

After a few days of this we decided to forget the bed and just put his mattress on the floor. He STILL rolled off!! He would end up in the strangest positions and he wasn't sleeping very soundly.

So, after about 2 weeks of trial and error we finally gave up and decided to put him back in his crib and guess what?? He has only crawled out a few times!!!!! Amazing...he must realize the novelty is gone and that it beats falling off onto the floor all the time!

But stay tuned because Scott is building Kyler a 'big boy bed' with side rails....we know the crib days won't last forever and next time we'll be prepared!!
