It’s amazing that just about this time last year I was blogging about a sleep transition with my little one. He spent his first night without a swaddle in March last year. It was a big adjustment and ended up with many sleepless nights.
Today we moved him to a toddler bed. I know he is young for it, and I definitely would have kept him in his crib much longer if I could, but this morning he climbed out. I was so grateful that he wasn’t hurt, but I wasn’t willing to risk it again. I spent most most of day taking apart the crib and putting it back together with the low side rail, putting cord safety devices in place, moving things, and hoping and praying he would sleep. At bed time I kept his routine exactly the same as always- diaper and PJs, brush teeth, books, a snuggle, and lay him down. He went right to sleep! I am still worried about what the night will hold, but for now, he is asleep, and I am so proud of him!

Here is to hoping he stays asleep all night. I remember 11 years ago when my son realized he could get out of bed.

Good luck! I hope it goes well. V just started climbing out of her crib but she does it so gracefully I'm not too worried about her falling. It is strange when she comes walking down the hallway when she wakes from her nap though!
