Last week we converted his crib to a toddler bed. Yes Ben was in a 'big boy bed' at 21 months, but Briggs is my BABY! And we weren't rushed with the impending addition of a baby like we were with Ben so we had planned on keeping him in a crib as long as possible. And then the little monkey figured out how to climb out. Well crap! Ben has full on full bunk beds, but they just Rent ready to share a room. And Ben has no interest in this happening. EVER!
Almost a week into it and he's doing pretty well. Naps go smoothly and he goes straight down at night. He does, however, come downstairs almost once a night and curl into bed with us. At least he doesn't stand outside his door ans scream like Ben does.
We also took the gate off the bottom of the stairs. It took us both about 10 days to get used to. Now the boys get to play upstairs and they love it!
And...are you ready for this...we are paci FREE!!! 100% paci free. This little miracle is thanks to hand foot and mouth. It hurt him so much to suck that he told us they were "yucky!" So we used that little gem as our 'out'. And he's done soooooo well! Hasn't asked for it at all. He did see some in a gift for Aunt Kristin (I'm going to be an aunt!) and got confused, but got over it quickly.
I just can't believe how big my little guy is getting!!! But no worries- we have every intention of making that a crib again...one day (gotta get aunt Tina married first)!
