Yes, I know Malia is a mere 19 months of age. But, here was my dilema: The girl's a climber! And after playing in the pack-n-play on vacation last week where she had "fun" climbing in and out of it, she figured "Why not do the same thing with my own crib when I get home? It's not that much bigger." And that's exactly what happened. She began climbing out of her crib in the middle of the night. So, what's a mother to do to keep her child safe?
So, Rick and I decided it was time to take off the front of the crib and use the second stage of the bed ... the toddler bed. And Malia, of course, had to oversee the project.

"Look, Mommy! I'm a really good supervisor, just like Great-Grandma Wagoner and Grandma Cindy!"
Here's the toddler bed, minus the matching side rail, which costs over $200! (What a serious rip off!) So, we opted for a cheaper railing, even though it doesn't really go with this type of bed.
But, the girl needs something to "catch" her when she's flopping around in her sleep. That's right. The girl's even active while sleeping. No rest for the weary, isn't that how the saying goes?
She loves it! She had so much fun climbing in and out, it was hard to settle her down to go to bed!

$200??? Wow! You made a great choice on the cheaper version :) So, did she sleep all night in her new bed? What did she do in the morning? Get up on her own? She looks so cute in the new bed :)
NOOOOOOOOO..I am so not ready for this. Coby was climbing out too and since we put it on the lowest position all has been well. We go on vacay next week with a pack n play...will this happen to us too!!! : (
So cute in her new bed though : )
too cute. what a great "helper" she is. And yes it is "no rest for the wicked and the righteous don't need none."
We had to go to the toddler bed too!! Is Malia staying in her's at bedtime??? Katie doesn't seem to be making the transition very well, but she kept climbing out of the crib!?!? Any words of wisdom to share???
