Ethan's Move to a Toddler Bed

Ethan is 18 months old and under normal circumstances I would keep him in his baby bed until he was 2....but Ethan is not normal!!! :) It's been two weeks since we made the change and the story's we have!

The reason we made the switch...

Two days in a row Ethan got his chubby little legs stuck in the side of the bed. The first time I turned his leg and carefully got it out. The second day was awful. It was hung up on his knee cap and it took me what seemed like forever to get it out. I called Jason in panic mode I CAN'T GET HIS LEG OUT. Ethan is crying and shaking...Noah is crying and worried...I am thinking what am I going to do. Every way I turned it he would scream...I will stop with all the scary details...just know it was awful. That was it...baby bed turned to toddler bed!

Now some of the story's we have accumulated over the two weeks...
First night...Ethan got up and was walking around in circles down the hall saying ohh, ohh. Then he laid down in the hall with his blankie and went back to sleep.
Let me see we have seen him asleep under his bed and behind the door. We have woken up to the sound of him playing with his toys or the door stopper in our room. This morning he came to my bed with a car.

For the most part he is doing really great adjusting! Nothing has happened that was as scary as his leg being stuck...so were good!

  1. what a big boy! I'm not sure what I think about Addie and a big girl bed... I guess you leave his door open? I can only imagine the shinanigans she would get into.

  3. Oh my goodness...I laughed and laughed! What is it with your family? You guys are just funny. I mean, I know it wasn't funny when he got his leg stuck, but everything else is pretty darn hilarious!
