bye, bye crib

What do you do when you figure out that your almost 2 year old has climbed out of the crib during naptime??? You thank God that he didn't break anything as he climbed out, and then you call your husband and say "guess what your son did?" You then are amazed as his reply is "oh yeah, I forgot to tell you he was running down the hall when I got out of the shower this morning."

After the naptime escape, I put Coleman back in his crib just to see how he did it. He went to the corner, put his hands on the rails, hooked a leg over, threw himself over the side rail and scaled down the side. The child has NO fear! So, after the 3 escapes today, we took the side rail off and he now has a toddler bed (a little sooner than I hoped). So here's my little guy...growing up WAY too fast!

loving his new found freedom...

and he's o-u-t! Once I tucked him in and told him good night, he stayed right there. Let's hope this transition continues to be as smooth as tonight was. Night, night!
