Normally the pediatrician will recommend you transition your toddler from a crib to a toddler bed around the time she tries to climb out of her crib. At Kayden’s two year check up we asked if we might consider transitioning her now since she is a big two year old! The doctor said if she isn’t trying to climb out, there is no need. So we held on to that for about a month, but then decided it might be a fun thing to do anyway. There have been some stories from friends about their little ones running rampant in their new found freedom, so there was some hesitancy on my part. Knowing Kayden as most of us do, there really was no need for any hesitancy! I am proud to say that she transitioned beautifully to her new bed. In fact, she won’t even get out of her bed until we come to her room. Good or bad?? When she is playing in her room she will get on and off of her bed, but when she goes down or wakes up from a sleep, she stays put! So lucky!!

From the pictures you can see we have her bedding set up wrong. Do not panic! We have since made the change and she is safely sleeping with her head at the correct end!

Kloey has also made a bedding transition. She is sleeping in her big girl crib! We had her sleeping in her own room (2 1/2 steps from our room) in her bassinet after about a week of grunts and miscellaneous screams that made both her mother and father crazy! She did great in her own room and we could see her on the camera so I felt no urgency to put her in her big ‘ol sterile crib. We figured if we were going to go through sleeping issues transitioning Kayden, might as well take the risk at the same time with Kloey! Luckily for me, sleeping is continuing to go smoothly!
