We weren't going to get a "toddler bed" because the crib we had converted to a toddler bed, but after a few weeks of Luke getting bruises on his legs that never seemed to go away we re-evaluated. And it wasn't until I noticed that every time he climbed in and out of the crib/toddler bed that his shins were hitting on the guard rail. Here is a picture of his legs, they actually look a bit better than they have in the past. We decided that we couldn't have him with bruises all over his legs all the time! It just looked bad! 
Here is a picture of him the first day! He liked it right away! So did Ender, but we already posted a picture of that, so I'm not re posting one!
After checking on him the first night, we decided to put his bed along the wall the long way, so he would only have a little space where he could fall out... which he did, so now we put the pillow at the foot of the bed, and he has done much better!
Things worked out even if we weren't going to buy a bed. It was cheaper than putting him in a twin bed...we would have to buy a twin mattress, twin bed frame, twin bedding....etc... And it's just too cute! So now our plan is (which always seem to change when we make them!) is to just wait until Cassie needs to be in a twin bed (maybe 3 years?) and just but them at the same time, maybe bunk beds that we can separate if we need to.
We love how every night he has random things in bed, this night it was a book, a pound puppy (from when I was a kid! Do they even still make those?) an of course he ALWAYS has his doggie!

They still do make pound puppies!!! I got Paige one. I love the bed and am insisting when Clay comes home that we go and get Paige a white one. I think I saw one at Walmart that can be shipped to the store that I liked. I can't wait!!! Is he actually staying in the bed? That is my only concern with Paige.
Luke has been out of a crib for about two months now maybe? At first he didn't get out, and then he figured he could get out, but then he would get back in and go to sleep. Then when the dresser fell over, we moven him into the other room with nothing else. Since then we have put his toys in his room, and he will get out and play, but then he gets back in to sleep. We still keep his bed time at 6pm, but sometimes he doesn't go to sleep til 7 or 8 because he is playing...but he is playing happy and quiet so we don't mind so much!
