Big Boy Bed

Did you know that if you take local firefighters some root beer floats they will let you drive the truck? A shout-out to "Uncle" Brian -- a firefighter in Wichita -- AWESOME idea! He may look tiny in there, but he's would drive this if you let him.
That was part of the morning fun today. And last night Preston climbed out of his crib again, so we decided it was time to try out the toddler bed at nap time today. This is what he thought of it. Looks like an easy transition!


Or not.
He was in and out of bed about 156 times and finally fell asleep in my arms about 2.5 hours after his nap should have started (which he hasn't done since he was about 6 months old!). I had to wake him up so he wouldn't nap until 6PM.

This is what happens when you wake a toddler. Sigh.

Not sure if we will try the big bed again tonight, but definitely don't want him climbing out of his crib and smashing his head open. What's a parent to do?? Any advice?

Oh my goodness! The squeals from big-boy-bed excitement were TOO cute!
Can you put the big boy bed IN the crib? Does that solve any problems? ;) Ha!

oh yikes! I think Shannon dealt with that when her son was just about 2. They just finally made his room totally safe and put tons of pillows and stuff on the ground in case he climbed out and then closed the door. Good luck to you all!

they make tents that cover the crib, but they're pricey and may only buy you a few more months. Just an idea I know worked for my nephew.
