So obviously you get what this post is about! I'm so excited/terrified about this big girl bed thing.
It all started Friday night. I placed Teny in her crib walked out of her room and into the kitchen to grab her sippy and walked back to her room and bam she was on top of her changing table.
She has a crib/changer combo. Where one side of the crib has a changing table attached to it. We have loved it because it gives us so much extra space. Well we loved it, past tense. Cause there was nothing scarier than walking into her room to find her standing on top of it.
So I yell for Chris and make him come lower her bed to the lowest setting like its 4-6 inches off the floor now.
So we put her and bubs to bed and leave their room.
She never got back out of bed so we thought we were golden... That was until the next morning when I hear her yelling "mommy" and I walk in and she's back on the table!!
I place her back in the crib and actually told her to show mommy how she climbs. So I watched as my tiny tiny 20 month old baby climbed out of a crib in which the rails are taller than her. She climbed on top of the changing table and then showed me how she climbed down using the drawers that are attached to the changing table. She uses the knobs as steps.
Then she was on the floor. I mean its a lot safer than trying to climb over the rails but it still made me queasy.
So we took her front rail off and we are now using it as a toddler bed.
So now onto how she's done with the toddler bed.
Not to toot her horn but she has been amazing!! Naps have still been 3-4 hours and she goes to bed at 730 and than wakes up at 730 the next day. She has yet to get out of bed once when she wasn't suppose to. When she wakes up at 730 she goes and knocks on the door and says mama and she does the same for naps. So she knows she can get out she just doesn't.
Its such a huge difference between what we went through with Marcus. Marcus was that kid who got out of bed a million times. Slept on the floor, took months to get him to stay in bed. Naps were horrible during this time. It was just a hot mess. We expected the same thing with Teny and so far it has been amazing. Its only been 4 days so we will see if it keeps up.
Now if only we can get a bigger house so the kids can have their own rooms so we can buy Teny a cute bedroom set. Marcus got his when he got a big boy bed. Now its Tenys turn. Hopefully this time next year we will be all moved into our new home in Maryland and I can start working on her room.
