Toddler Bed Night 1

Its happening people. Tonight M is sleeping in her new toddler bed for the first time after a week of escaping her crib. I AM SO NOT READY FOR THIS on many different levels!!

As I write this blog (from my trusty iphone) I've watched her climb out of the bed a few times already on the video monitor. Which btw, how did we EVER survive as mothers with a video monitor??! I mean really?! Each time she's returned quickly as if she's about to get caught. I can only pray it's a smooth transition and I don't have a wondering toddler at all hours of the night.

But if I do, I'll be blocking her in by double stacking baby gates like I had to do with K. Sounds crazy, but if your kid can climb out of a crib with the mattress on the floor- a baby gate is nothing! But 2 is impossible! And yes, K slept the first 3 nights on the floor in front of her door, but she was safe.

Have I said IM SO NOT READY FOR THIS??!!

SO GLAD YOURE BACK!

Howd she do? I think Trevor has the same bed in espresso!! He fall out of it, so we put my pregnancy pillow around him as a guard. ;)

DID I MENTION I AM GLAD YOURE BACK?

Super cute! Good luck with the transition!

It gets easier. We transitioned our twins last summer when they both started climbing out. It took a good 2 weeks to keep them in their beds and bedtime went from 10minutes to 90 minutes. We still have some setbacks but in the end, I think they both enjoy their new independence. By the way, I think we have the same beds in expresso too. :)
