I adore how they love each other!

So… wait… let me get this straight: Tristan was in Simon’s crib SHARING HIS THOMAS TRAINS WITH HIM?
Holy linoleum, Batman. That child is a future candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.
In all seriousness, we never had that trouble. LG is afraid of heights — he never tried to escape from high up in his crib. And Baby Blue has never consented to sleep in a crib in the first place. Sigh. We’re just lucky that she’s too short to reach and open the doorknob to her room…

A friend of mine would find all three of her kids in the youngest’s crib…to play with him and keep him company. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, but more about the extra weight.
One of my guys climbed out once, CRASH, ouch – never did it again, but they were both awfully good at their acrobatics, remember those pics?

Good luck with it my friend… my kiddo was in a *big bed* at roughly 15 months. But then again, he always ended up in our bed by 2am anyway.

Oh my word, how cute is that?? Although it was probobly not a good idea for Tristan to show Simon how to climb in the crib, it was such a sweet jesture

Do the boys sleep together? I can’t remember Dani. If they do sleep together Simon may not ramble around the hosue Like Tristan did. Because Tristan stays in bed now.
I’m still waiting for nathan to fall asleep himself gotta workon that.

That exact same thing happened with Ben and John. John never climbed out of his crib, I have NO IDEA why not. Then when John was a bit over 3 (!) Ben started climbing into and out of John’s crib. I think I did shriek. But John still stayed inside. Since I was pregnant with Ava, maybe it was his way of staying a baby, I don’t know. But he NEVER climbed out. Even though he saw Ben do it a billion times. So there is hope.

Just last week I taught Josephine how to safely climb out of her crib, with a beanbag chair as the soft landing point. She did climb and fall out months ago, and hasn’t attempted since; but I thought that since I’m being a jerk and waiting for the Minnen bed in the dark brown colour to be restocked at Ikea before I get set up a toddler bed (even though the white one is sitting downstairs because I don’t like it!), I’d better prepare her somehow.

Maybe one day, I’ll get the 15 month old out of OUR bed. Sigh.

My second has routinely climbed into the crib with my third. My concern was more that the crib might collapse under the weight. But, they are so cute in there together playing that I figured the bruises that might result were worth the time for them to bond on their own. If Simon is going to climb out of the crib, there is pretty much nothing you can do to stop him – just be there to catch him when he falls.

My husband and I were just last night discussing the inevitable move of our youngest (15 months) to a real bed. Our oldest (now 4) did just fine with this — in fact, she NEVER leaves her room without us getting her, so we don’t have to worry about her wandering the house. But our baby is an acrobat and a wanderer. I somehow doubt she’ll stay in bed.
