Abigale is going to be moving into her new room soon (due August) and we have to move Hailey to the bigger room and get her and Abby’s rooms ready. With that in mind, Hailey still doesn’t like going to bed at night. With her being as rambunctious as she is, I can see her climbing out of a bed and trying to make an escape from her room. She’ll be walking soon, she’s taking a few steps now, and I figured when she was old enough to walk she’d be old enough for a toddler bed with side rails.
What age did you take your kids out of the crib and put them into a bed? Right now when I put Hailey to bed in the crib she’ll stand up as soon as I plop her in and shove her hands up at me that just screams ‘please daddy don’t make me go to bed’. Breaks my heart every time, but anyway back to the point. If she’s in a bed, she’ll be crawling out between my legs before I can get the bedroom door closed. No really, she’s quick! Haha, so when do you guys think is a good age to graduate to a bed? Are we rushing a bit?

Brad, yeah, I think you are perhaps going a bit too fast, but you live with her and you both know her best. We switched all of ours to “big girl beds” at 2. It worked for us, but that’s not to say it will be best for you. At just over 1 you will have a new host of issues. Babyproofing the entire floor she can get into when she inevitably wakes at night, unless you are going to lock her in her room, then you have to worry about her getting into stuff there. I am just offering some perspective. Peace.

Ya, maybe we are moving a bit to quick. I didn’t think about the newborn being in a basonet for the first few months too. Hailey will be 18 months when Abby is born, another 3 months and Hailey will be almost 2 years old. We may not have to buy a second crib.
