Not Quite the Big Boy Bed

 Last night at about 2:30 AM, I hear Maureen scream, "OH MY GOD!"  I freak out thinking, "Good God!  What is going on!"  It turns out our Nicholas had decided to try to climb out of his crib.  Somehow, he managed to stay in the crib even with his legs dangling in the air.  He's either a gymnast or God was looking out for us.

After discussing many options (i.e. tent crib, air mattress), Maureen remembered that we could convert the crib to a toddler bed.  As soon as the conversion was complete, Nicholas was in heaven.  He couldn't wait to go to sleep in it and he made sure to place all his friends like Glow Worm, Teddy, Scout the Dog, Elmo, and Dinosaurs in there.  He kept on climbing in and saying "Night Night" over and over again as you can see from the video. Sadly, he wasn't as enthusiastic about it when the time came to go to sleep.  It took about 30-minutes for him to settle down before he realized that he had no choice in the matter.  Let's hope he gets a good night's sleep.

He woke up at 8:15.  I found him in the middle of the room.  He was dazed and confused.  I immediately picked him up and put him back in the crib after patting his back for about 5 minutes.
