A little more than a week ago Bear and I were sitting in the family room one evening when all of a sudden we heard, "where mommy daddy doe (go)?" Next thing we hear is the pitter-patter of little feet running down the foyer. Nugget had not only gotten out of the crib, which he had been doing on occasion, but he also got the door opened and came down the stairs.
At first we thought it was a fluke. I thought maybe I didn't get the door pulled closed tight. Nugget had gotten out of the crib before, but he has never been consistent about it. Fast forward to the next day during nap time, he escaped again. I was more shocked that he could suddenly open doors, than I was about him climbing out of the crib. That was the end of the sweet crib.
That Sunday afternoon Bear took down the side of the crib and converted it to the toddler bed.
Sniff, Sniff!!

The toddler bed~
I think this has been more of an adjustment for Mommy than for Nugget. |

First night in the converted bed.
We couldn't believe he stayed in bed ALL night!
The pillow is no longer in the bed. He doesn't want to have anything to do with a pillow right now. |
We have had the toddler bed one week today. Nugget has gotten out of bed and come downstairs only two times when he should have been going to sleep. We are proud of our little man!
