That Was Fast
So remember a while back I begged and pleaded for mom advice about Bridget seemingly being about to climb out of her crib? Well, today she did it.
I was up getting ready and I knew she was awake but I always get myself ready first or else I will never get to. I was brushing my teeth, when through the monitor I heard THUMP…… waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! I ran into her room and she greeted me at the door. She was fine, not hurt, just scared I think. I immediately picked her up and ran to the phone to call Jake. Hey, if I have to carry around this worry in my head, so does he!
So now I’m off to find the directions for her convertible crib so that when Jake gets home this afternoon, he can turn her crib into a toddler bed.
Seriously, isn’t 20 months just a wee bit early for this? She’s never going to stay in her bed. We’ll have to put those door knob things on so she can’t wander the house at night. But I know I’ll find her sleeping on her floor where she passed out from exhaustion after playing with all her toys for hours after we put her to bed. This is not going to be pretty for any of us.

You could always try the crib tent thing if you weren’t ready to move her into a toddler bed. It seems to work great for some people. It’s ugly though. We had one for a bit to keep the cats out of the crib. It worked well for that too.
OMG, this is horrible. & way, way, WAY too early. You have my deepest sympathies.
I think it all depends on the kid. Charlotte is 27 months and still in a crib and though she could climb out, she doesn’t.
We installed a gate at the top of the stairs in case she does. The next thing on my list is to get Mike to tether everything to the wall. I’ve heard too many horror stories of kids climbing up dressers and it falling on them.
Good God, woman, we need to get together and drink.
I wish I had advice. She seems like a climber, so I echo AndreAnna, bolt the shit out of her room. Ugh.
