Bye-Bye Crib

Caroline is stepping up to a big girl bed!  I was not prepared to say goodbye to the crib this soon, but due to Saturday night's dangerous dismount we had no other choice.  I am not exactly sure how she got out of her crib, there was no crying in the night or obvious injuries.  In fact, on Sunday morning she greeted me at her bedroom door with a big smile.  I lifted Caroline back into her crib and asked her to demonstrate for me how she got out.  She proceeded to lift one leg over the rail and attempt a second jump.  We will have no more of this!  Whether I am ready or not, it is time to introduce this toddler to a bigger bed.        

So far we've had two successful nights and two long naps.  She is sleeping very well in her new bed.

There is plenty of room for all her favorite bedtime friends.

She is cute with her big girl bed! I am not ready for Brady to get out of his crib at night but for naps I have let him sleep in Grant's bed.

I cannot believe she is that old now. Super cute. I can only imagine Aliya climbing out of her crib and saying peek a boo to me in the middle of the night!

How adorable she is in her new big girl bed. Aren't children amazing? Letting us parent's know when they are ready for something, even if we are not.
We have a baby bunny who leaped out of her cage one day and was loose in the house all afternoon. The only way out was for her to jump up and over....needless to say we had to lock her cage now. : ) your post reminded me of her...hehe

My Megan just figured out climbing in and out of the crib a few weeks ago (much to the dismay of the crib inhabitant Brooke). What an excellent and resourceful Caroline! Cute bed.

They leap into life so quickly! At least she didn't have any major falls, right? :)

That girl is so put together! How could she not be sleeping well? That bed looks so cozy.

So cute. I'm glad she likes her bed so much so she can be safe and get a good night's rest. Sweet dreams Caroline.

I caught Hayze trying to escape the other day during nap time. Really, they just grow too fast. Mine will have to be on a mattress for awhile. NOt sure my 14 mo. is quite ready for that big girl bed. :)
