Where's my baby?

He's gone.

This is what I have now...for me I guess it's equal parts exciting and heartbreaking.
Oh motherhood, you're a hard one.
Excited...
REALLY excited...

See ya later!


We were just going to get a nice white toddler bed for Jaxon so it would continue to match his room, but he saw this fireman bed -which he FELL IN LOVE WITH, at his friend Tate's house, WHO HE IDOLIZES, and it was pretty much a done deal. Tate actually grew out of it and we were able to strike a sweet deal with his mom and dad (THANKS GUYS!)

We turned the lock around on Jaxon's door, and locked it from the outside. (I'm still worried to death about him getting out, wandering the house, and getting hurt without me knowing) We told him if we heard him out of bed and playing in his room, he would lose his "big boy bed" privilege and be back in his crib. We also bought a timer and hooked his little lamp to it. We set it to turn on at 6:45. We told Jaxon that when, AND ONLY WHEN, the light went on, he could call for us. Before that, to stay and play in his cool bed. Sure enough, right on the dot, he was not only calling, but knocking loudly on his door. It was SO cute...at least the first time!

He's so little to be so big!! I miss seeing him everyday--the changes are so huge.

That is such a cute bed! Logan is still asking for his crib, but he's staying in his toddler bed at least. When Hunter was little we put up a baby gate so he couldn't get out of his room. That was after he made it downstairs in the middle of the night, so I understand your fears!! Good luck!

We just recently put Dylon in a toddler bed too. I've been worried to death of him getting out too. Good luck! That is a great idea with the timer on the light!!

Awesome bed!!!
It's amazing how motivating a really cool bed can be for a toddler.
Noah loves his "Lightning McQueen" bed.

And we still lock the door on the outside for our kiddos rooms. It's too scary to think of what they can accidentally get into while I'm sleeping.
We all rest better with locks.
