Upgrading

We have finally moved Kimball out of the crib and into a big bed. We put off the move for as long as we could, but when Kimball finally learned how to climb out of his crib about 4 weeks ago we decided it was time. Kimball is doing fairly well with the big bed, but we still have him coming out of his room at night. We just tell him he needs to stay in his room and we let him play with his toys as long as he is quiet and not disturbing anyone else. After a while he is ready on his own to get in bed or with a little reminder and then he goes to sleep easily. We are trying to see if going without naps during the day helps with the nightly routine, but so far we haven't noticed a difference other than a grumpier boy in the mornings. He'll figure it out and for now we would rather have the rules a little loose than ending each day frustrated.

With Kimball out of the crib we have moved Rebecah from the pack 'n play into the crib. She loves her new bed and the extra space. I'll lay her at one end of the crib and when I get her after her nap she is at the other end of the crib.

Both Kimball and Rebecah seem so much smaller when they sleep now that they are in bigger beds.
