Game Over

At 4:45am this morning, LR climbed out of his crib. After calling for me for a bit, "climb, Mommy. Climb!" (and before you think that he was telling me he was climbing, that's what he always says when he wants me to pick him up) , and then escalating to some crying, he got a little quiet. We thought he'd gone back to sleep. Then I heard a little bump and a crash and Daddy and I sprinted down the hall to find a weepy LR standing at the end of the hall waiting for us. He was completely unhurt, so must have landed on his feet or butt. He hiccuped a little in Daddy's arms and then I took him and tried not to crush him with the amount of adrenaline running through me.

So, game over. LR: 1 Parents: 710 (number of nights spent in his crib). We're going to shop for a "big boy" bed this weekend. We would have had to soon anyway with the new kids arrival. It'll just be sooner than we planned. Daddy and I are learning not to make any more plans. :)

Bud is just starting to try to climb out. We've managed to catch him and tell him not to each time so far, but the writing's on the wall.

You may want to dump his mattress on the floor and let him sleep on that until you get a bed, to keep LR from launching himself headfirst.

Done and done. We put a double mattress on his floor tonight. We'll see if he stays there. It might be a lo-ong night.
