A Whole New World

Well, my hope the kids continue to not remember that they can crawl out of their cribs plan.... well, it failed.

This was Saturday:
I think Hayden climbed out 100 times.  We put him in.  And by the time we turned around & got to their bedroom door, he was standing by our side.  Slick as a whistle. Shimmied right down without so much as a peep.  After dozens of times putting him back in his crib at bedtime, we finally just gave up. Shut the door & let him lay there on the floor... little fingers poking out under their bedroom door....crying.  What else do you do??

Livi was SO tired.  She was in bed, all tucked in, just hoping he'd shut up so she could sleep.  Logan was in bed crying, wanting out too. (Though he can crawl out of his pack & play, he has yet to actually get out of his crib. I always have just found him with one leg swung over the edge. He's probably 1.5-2 inches shorter than H though.)

After a while.... quiet.  I gave it a little time to make sure he was good & asleep, wherever he lay.  Then I snuck in, to see where I'd find him. You will never guess where he was???!!!

IN. HIS. CRIB!!

He apparently gave up, crawled back into his crib & went to sleep?!

Sunday morning:
Both Hayden & Livi out of bed in the morning.
 
And after some brief parental debate, we decided we can't risk out children's necks (or arm bones or leg bones) crawling in & out of bed, over a little (or a lot) of sleep.  And after consulting been there done that parents of all shapes & sizes, we decided crib tents for us would only prolong the inevitable. 
 
So tonight.... we endure night #1 of THREE TODDLERS IN BIG KID BEDS!!
 
Incase you don't hear from me for days... I've been committed! 
 
Wish us luck!
 
Pictures will follow, that is, if I remain sane....
