Once Josh was big enough for it, Elora moved to a twin bed. So if I move Jonah to it, then I'll have to buy another twin for Josh!tearesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362666264858845959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-51134801900706719332011-04-04T20:47:45.485-07:002011-04-04T20:47:45.485-07:00my mom waited until we were three to move us to a ...my mom waited until we were three to move us to a full size bed. Our kids have a toddler bed thats the same size and uses the same mattress as the crib. With each kid I worry about moving them, whether they'll stay in the bed, or fall out at night, or still take naps.<br />Each was different. We moved both Elora and Josh around age two, partly to make way for a new baby, partly for the potty training thing.<br />It usually took a week or two before they stayed in their bed after I left the room at night. Elora still took naps for several years, in fact she only stopped naps after Josh moved to the bed and would only stay in bed occasionally- he stopped napping almost completely by age three.<br />Jonah will be two this summer, but I don't feel he is as ready as the other two seemed. But maybe with a new baby I'll change my mind?<br />Good luck!tearesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362666264858845959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-988372596221585532011-04-04T14:54:27.411-07:002011-04-04T14:54:27.411-07:00Yes, its these arbitrary moments that I decided he...Yes, its these arbitrary moments that I decided he's "big enough" to start doing something and I just start doing it with him. I wonder how he feels, suddenly I break out some new routine, or allow him to do something he's never even thought of, is it magical or further proof that a kids life is so ever-changing its scary? But yes, trying to do the best thing for the little cubs. Wish we knew that we were.Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283580073759431574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-36653028922083130792011-04-01T10:45:55.112-07:002011-04-01T10:45:55.112-07:00Every kid, every family- has their own timeline. ...Every kid, every family- has their own timeline.

I was basically embarrassed that he wasn't trained. I still feel guilty about it. I mean, he was FINE. He was physically ready; he just didn't WANT to. I don't think he ever had a single accident; he just didn't WANT to give up his diapers. He was scared, and he cried. I've tried to never do that again. It's the best way I know to respect them when they're this little.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06560923893875596928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-5994841550888468212011-03-31T07:56:37.215-07:002011-03-31T07:56:37.215-07:00We just moved Alexis into a big girl bed.

I was scared to death the first night we moved her. I am shocked at how well the transition has gone. She sleeps so much better than she did in the crib. I think it helps that she doesn't get her feet stuck between the bars in the middle of the night. If you make it as exciting as possible, Alice won't even think twice about missing the crib.Melanie Condienoreply@blogger.com
