Crib to Toddler Bed

Last night was amazing!!!!!!!!! We put him to bed about 8:45...read him a few books while he was sitting in his little bed and then we left. He cried for a few seconds and didn't make a peep until 8:15 this morning!!!

What a relief that was. I know it may not last, but at least he stayed in his bed. I'm sure it's tough on a kid sleeping in a bed for the first time as I'm sure they have a sense of security being in a crib.

Knockin' on wood...
 
I think it depends on the kid. Some of mine have made the transition in the late 2's/early 3's. My youngest is three. He's a fearless climber and up until recently did not sleep well through the night. There was no way in he$% we were going to put him in a toddler bed, but he was also trying to climb out. With some "extra" adjustments I lowered the bars on his crib to ground level and his mattress in also on the ground. Now the rails are too high for him to try and climb out and he no longer tries. I don't think every crib would work that way though.
 
OK...have to post this picture. Nathan has been having good nights and bad nights with regards to wanting to sleep in his "big boy bed". Last night we let him cry for a while and before we went to bed, we always check on him. This is what we found last night...
