Farewell Cribs, Hello Toddler Beds!

Why was it that making the transition from crib to toddler bed was harder on me than them? My sweet babies are ready for big boy and big girl beds?! Can this be?!

We had wrestled with the decision of when exactly would we officially end the days of crib confinement and introduce the toddler bed. Although, this decision was totally irrelevant to Charlie seeing as how, he comes and goes from his crib as he pleases these days.

So what do you do on a Friday night when there is nothing else going on?

Why not convert a crib!

And so we did. (sniff, sniff)

Bubba and I were very curious as just to how the night would play out. I mean, have you met Charlie and Wylie? They aren't exactly inactive children! Most nights, despite the lights out in their room and the bedtime routines being completed, we hear for a minimum of an hour some sort of noise- be it Charlie and his acrobats or Wylie and her one line version of "Twinkle Twinkle".

Would the little loves find amusement in opening and closing the door in each others face?

Would we end up with a roll of duct tape over the light switch to prevent our "Lightaholic" from illuminating the room?


Would we walk in to discover a mini version of WWF going on in the floor?

Or just possibly, could we expect to find only 1 child in a room where they should be 2?

Much to our surprise we experienced none of the above!

There were only sweet dreams going on behind the nursery door!

As for Baby Bess, she isn't so sure we can expect Night #2 to go the same! She says sooner or later, the Charlie and Wylie she knows will be back up to their ol' tricks!
