Well the day that I dreaded for so long has come, we moved Emmory to a big boy bed last weekend. I always said I wasn't going to move Emmory out of his crib until he started climbing out of it....well it never occurred to me that he would never try to get out, but that he would grow out of his crib instead. I was still reluctant to move him, but the fact that our boy is so tall meant he was constantly kicking the crib slats during the night and his legs would always be hanging out of them. So we decided to be on the lookout for a bed and when we found one we would do the switch. I suppose the fact that he is almost three means it was probably time anyways. Well, much to my surprise he is doing great with it. It hasn't affected his sleep at all and he doesn't get out of it! I'm starting to think that maybe the ones who climb out of their crib have a harder time staying in their bed than the ones who never attempted to get out. I'm sure that's not true across the board, but it does seem to be that way. It will be interesting to see what Evan does. He likes his crib and is often content to lay there for a while after he wakes up, but he is also a climber, which Emmory never really was. I frequently walk in the kitchen and find Evan either standing on a chair or on top of the table. I can't let that one out of my sight!
So we've got one big transition under our belt and I am very thankful for that! Here is Emmory's new bed...although he doesn't like his quilt or pillow on his bed, he just likes to sleep on top of the sheet (like he did in his crib) so it doesn't usually look like this :)
