It's been two weeks...

...since we took the drop side off of Luke's crib. He's doing great!

I took the side off in the morning and figured that I would try it out and see how he did for his nap. He figured out that he could climb in, but he didn't climb out, he waited for me to get him out. This picture is of his nap.

It took him a couple of days before he figured out that he could get out on his own, so this is how I found him one night. We were going to move him back in bed before we went to bed, but before we could do that he ended up waking himself up by bonking his head on the bed every time he would try and turn his head and roll over. This is the only time (so far) that we have found him asleep on the floor.

We ended up moving the crib to the front bedroom, (we had a bit of a scare one day) so there is just his bed, Ender's pet bed, and a basket of stuffed animals. He can't even get in the closet because we have those locked off. We had intended for the kids to share a room, but for now they won't share...besides when Cassie is transitioning to the crib from our room, and crying it out to sleep, we didn't want two crying kids trying to sleep. Luke still goes to bed at 6pm, but sometimes he won't go to sleep right away, sometimes we hear him at 7 or 7:30. But the plus side to that is now he will sleep until 7:30 or 8 am and play for a while. And he will finally take an afternoon nap at about 10:30 or 11:00 which works better than a morning nap at 9 and then nothing the rest of the day....those were long days!

Ender likes the new bed too!

We weren't going to even try the bed for a while, Luke was doing really well still sleeping in a crib and he hadn't learned to climb out of it. But at least 2 or 3 times a week his legs were getting stuck in between the slats and it didn't seem to matter if he was a wake or asleep. Sometimes he would get so stuck he would bruise, and we were tired of going in and getting him unstuck. He now gets in and out of bed freely, but he always gets back in to sleep! I can't believe he's old enough to be in a big bed.
