Big Boy Bed

Jude started climbing out of his crib last week. It started as an occasional thing, but soon became something he did numerous times a day. After several times of falling in his attempts to climb out of bed, we decided it was time to move him to a big boy bed.

I was not ready for this. I was hoping to keep him in the crib for almost another year. Julia did not start to climb out of the crib until she was 2 1/2.

As I was taking apart the crib, I was holding back the tears. Jude is my last baby and he is growing up to fast!

Jude, on the other hand, LOVED the new bed.

Here he is trying it out right after we get it set up.





He realized he can climb up to his shelves now.


Bedtime was a little difficult. He got out of bed many times, but finally fell asleep.




Jerrod checked in on him this morning and found him sleeping on the floor, so he either fell out or got out and just slept on the carpet.
