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?

Baby Hailey isnt going to the baby of the household for too much longer, her sister Abigale will be here soon!! (four more months to go….and i am asking my self if these prenatal vitiams are working? i am soooo tired this pregnancy)  Hailey and Abigale will be 18 months apart, is this a good thing or not?? My brother and i were 13 months apart and we has so much fun growing up together, like bestfriends, he was my built in playmate and i loved it that way! of course we were so close that we did have bad fights in between all the fun but what siblings dont have a good cat fight?! 

I have heard that being so close can cause a rift between the two. The older silbing tries to get rid of the new addition, and can act out. Will being so close in age will cause Hailey to be jealous of her new baby sister or will it bring them closer togther?

I am curious if anyone has any stories relating to this? Is there anything i can do to ease this transition for my Baby Hailey?  Wish us luck
