Goodbye Good Crib!

Brayden Mynor is 2.5 years old. Most parents would have ditched the crib a long time ago. . . but I was *clinging* to the crib as long as I could! You see, my babies are good sleepin' babies. We have the world's most wonderful bedtime routine in our house - You tell the babies that they have a good crib, you put them in the crib and tell them to get good rest, and they do. It works great for all of us :) Brayden does not deal well with change. Any change. So, I put off converting his crib to a toddler bed as long as possible.

Monday at naptime, Brayden "announced" that the days of good rest in the good crib were over. Yeah, he climbed out and headed down the hall to visit his sleeping baby sister. So, we have now officially converted to the toddler bed!

Kissing the Good Crib Goodbye!

"Super"vising the work

Checking out the new "Good Bed"

And finally settling in for a nice bedtime story :)

We've had 2 nights of not-so-good rest and no naps in the bed. . . he slept in the glider in his room today. However, we may have turned the corner because tonight he was as quiet as a mouse within 5-10 minutes of me leaving the room. I sure hope that he is getting good rest :)

WOW! That's wonderful! Great that he has transitioned so easily! Good for him ... and all of you :)!

We have not yet made that change ... Dominic will be 3 yrs old in April and he is still in his crib and not yet potty trained. My main thing is he still takes great naps (most of the time), sleeps great at night and does not yet try to get out of the crib. Why stop a good thing? I'm sure it's just a matter of time, though ... like Brayden ... when he will start to figure out he can easily climb out. Until then ....

Btw, I love his crib and now toddler bed ... beautiful!
