Tonight we officially took down the crib. Meg and Julie are now enjoying their first night in their new bunkbed. They were both very excited about this change . . . but with that change comes training : ) Yep, little Julie is now learning that she must stay in bed. (My trick is that I put Walmart bags on the floor next to her bed, and I keep a monitor in her room. That way I can hear her as soon as her foot touches the floor and deal with it accordingly.)They both did a great job tonight. Julie was not happy when I told her that she couldn't get out of bed, but she tried it anyway. I had been out of their room for about 2 minutes when I heard a loud thud and a scream. Landing on her head was a better consequence than any swat I would have given her! : ) That was the end of her adventures - for this evening, at least! I guess time will tell . . .
A happy little Meg - so proud to be on the top bunk!
Sweet little Julie - tucked in and ready for bed
(though her head didn't stay on that pillow for long!)
A grumpy face after mommy
told her she must stay in bed -
I know - so cruel!

i can't believe she's in a real bed!!!! did you move all of your kids that young? and they stayed in bed?????
i'm keeping jack in his crib until he's 10.
I have moved all of them (except for Ali) that young. I learned my lesson with her. (Getting Ali to stay in bed wasn't a battle, it was a WAR!) When they're so young, they're not quite so adept at climbing, so I find it easier to keep them in bed. : )
