Ugh...Not Ready For This

Well, it happened this weekend...Max managed to get out. He's been gated for the past 2.5 years and he finally did it. He finally escaped. He broke out of his crib. He jumped. He climbed. He finally did it. We knew this day was coming very soon, but we just were truly not ready for it. Plus, did I mention it's really bad timing?

On Friday morning, Andy contacted me to tell me the details. He was working and saw a flash of a person on the monitor in Max's room. Then he heard pitter patter of feet upstairs. He knew the day arrived and so he made the trek upstairs to find Max standing in his doorway giggling and that's how Friday started. Friday nap time didn't go so well. Andy put him down and Max climbed out again and walked downstairs to say "Daddy, no nap, please!"

Come Saturday morning I woke up to the sound of little feet running into the bedroom and climbing into bed. Then a voice says "Wake mommy." Great! There goes the end of that. Nap time wasn't much better and went very similar to the Friday nap time that Andy experienced, but I worked with him to go back to bed for nap.

It was time to make the trip to the store to purchase a big boy bed. Not thrilled with this because I am so not ready for it and it's really bad timing with the purchase of the new house and the holidays. Oh well, it was time to go shopping. We had Max help pick out his bed and we found the perfect one for him. A bed that he can grow into and last a very long time. It will also look great in his room once I have it finished. I have this great idea in mind for his new big boy room.

The bed was delivered on Sunday so we only had one more time of Max climbing himself out of the crib. Of course he did this again on Sunday morning for the last time. We took apart the crib, packed it away and put Max to sleep on Sunday night in his big boy bed and he loves it. My big guy looks so tiny in his big bed.





We may not have been ready for this milestone, but it came and it went. Max loves his bed and now we don't have to worry about him face planting as he tries to escape his crib.
