Houston, We Have A Crib Jumper
Well, at 18 months and 2 weeks old it happened. On Sunday, when nap time came around, we put Aubrey into his crib, said our sleepy tights and closed the door. The whining started like always and usually lasts about 10 mins. But, instead of quieting down, we heard a loud THUMP! When we got to his room, we found him there, on the floor, starring up to us in pure anger. For the next 2 hours, I spent putting him back in the crib everytime he jumped out. Until, there was finally silence. Thinking that he must have passed out on the pillows we placed around the crib for cushioning, I left him. After 45 mins of silence I thought it would be safe to go in and check on him. As I opened the door, I saw a snuggled little boy half asleep on the big rocking chair, book in hand (he tried to read so bad). At that point I realized that this wasn't going to work so in the car we went, for an hour and a half which finally brought on an hour long nap.Now comes the decision. Do we turn the crib into a toddler bed? Or do we leave it and just fight with him on the weekends for naps? Oh the joys of parenthood.Katie Rose xo
