Toddler sleep patterns

[doubtfull24]

Didn't get the toddler bed in over the weekend But I did get the closet organizer system installed! My kid has more clothes than I do

Upon some reflection I realized that the twin mattress and box springs I had planned to use were mine as a child. Which makes them a good 20+ years old. Sooo I'm thinking perhaps it could be mattress shopping time.

I want to get a closet organizer as well! Don't feel bad my little man has more clothes than me also! I would rather spend money on them than myself. I like my crib because it converts into a toddler bed. Also little man has slept all night for 2 days !

The crib I have converts into a toddler bed also, but it converts to a full size mattress. Plus I'm going to be using the crib for #2. I already have a nice set of matching twin frames that I can use as big kid beds, plus it seems that sheets in twin size seem to be a lot more common than those in full.

ETA: For closet organizers I'd suggest Amazon! I got the Rubbermaid 4-8ft system from Walmart (who had it by mistake, it's not something they usually stock). Lowes had them also (for a lot more money) but a quick price check showed that if I'd been patient I could have saved $20 or so ordering the same system from Amazon. I'll try to remember to post a picture tonight of how it came out.

Kiddo's been sleeping through the night pretty good (don't want to jinx it).

Off to do some price comparisons for the big boy bed! Wheeee

In other news I want to cry half the time, he's getting so big. Goes up and down the stairs like a big boy, he's starting to say please and thank you and *sniffle sniffle*

Oh my, that's exciting !!!

And mine is gettin big SO fast. They are teaching him so much at daycare, I can't keep up.... he moo's and quacks and gives kisses. Of course he says "da da", never "mom". He got me again the other day while in line at the grocery store, he was throwing things out of my purse and I kept saying "Please stop that", and he kept swiping his hand accross his chest... over and over, every time I said that. Well, apparently the hand swipe accross the chest means "Please" I do hope he gets the stairs soon, that worries me, hard wood stairs..yikes

First night

First night

Awwww! Enjoy seeing him snuggled in his big boy bed now! Before you know it... he'll be off for a 4 day weekend of camping and who knows what and you'll be glancing in his room only to see an empty bed! Don't blink... they grow up fast...

YAY for big boy beds !!I cannot wait.. I say that now, but we just bought furniture for our spare bedroom so when Chase is sick or won't sleep we can go into that room and we can all get some sleep. Here's to hoping !! Good luck pelers !!

Color me shocked! He was up playing for quite awhile, but actually crawled back into bed and covered up to pass out!

Is his room on the 2nd floor? That's what scares the hell out of me. I can get baby gates for his door and for in front of the stairs, just have awful feelings they would fail and he'd take a tumble down our HARD WOOD stairs.

It is, but he's awesome with stairs. I also child proofed his doorknob so he can't escape.

What if there is a fire?

Then my bedroom is next door to his so at worst we'll burn to death together.

How do you babyproof door handles? We don't have the normal round ones, ours are the all artsy stainless looks like a curved L shape??
Pix will be available if you need,

Damn phone ate my reply.

We have the round knobs. They have plastic covers you can get that just spin unless gripped just so. I think I'll be going to Lowes to get a replacement knob, though. His has a push lock on it. On the inside lol.

 

[animalluvr4life]

pelers can't you just reverse the door handle so it locks on the outside (is that an option) instead of buying a new doornob?

Oh, probably, but it just seems wrong to be able to lock my kiddo into his room. Even though that's technically what I'm doing with the childproof knob.

I don't think it's at all logical, but there it is.

Night #2 not as successful as #1, but still a win. I put a pillow on the floor at the foot of his bed (in the event he takes another header off it trying to play with the light switch). He curled up on that pillow (with his lovey blanket) and passed out.

A less expensive alternative is to just slather grease all over the knob.
