Big Boy Bed

Yesterday when EJ woke up he informed me that "Last week I was a little boy and this week I am a big boy. Big boys sleep in big boy beds!" I have been dreading converting his crib into a toddler bed, but he is almost three years old and I'm sure past ready for this milestone. So Paco took off the front railing of the crib and we now have a big boy bed. He was really enjoying the freedom of getting in and out of bed on his own. Last night we kept having to walk him back into his room and put him back in bed and eventually had to put a childproof doorknob cover on to keep him in his room. After two hours or so of this fun back and forth game he fell asleep. Within two minutes he managed to fall out of the bed! He stayed asleep through it all and, knock on wood, he hasn't fallen out since. He is napping perfectly in his big boy bed now and we are hoping that continues.
