I'm not ready...
Today I was talking to my husband on the phone while he was working. He was talking about how great Hunter slept last night (after 18 months he decided he'd sleep all night for us.) We put him in his own room two nights ago the first night didn't go good he woke up about 3 times freaking out, last night was great.. My husband suggested we switch Hunter to a toddler bed.. WHAT WHY NO!!!! I don't want to put my baby in a toddler bed yet. That just means he's growing up on us and I am NOT READY!!! I realize I have to let him grow up but he's still my baby. I really don't know why I flipped out so much with my daughter she was in a toddler bed at around this age but she was also more mature (is that even possible with babies??) I told him we can't buy a toddler bed right now (hoping he forgot his crib turns into a toddler bed) but nope he remembered... I think one reason I am so scared to put him in a toddler bed is because his bedroom is downstairs and in a crib he can't get out but in a toddler bed he can get out and what if he climbs over a baby gate and roams the house that just scares me! When we switched my daughter our room was right next to hers and it didn't worry me because I could see her from where we had our bed.. Maybe I'm just being over protective but oh well he's still my baby! :)

well ya know i was watching this show about parents raise sextuplets and they had the same problem! but a sleep doctor suggested putting a lock on the door, and a baby monitor in the room. this way they can get up but be safe in their room till you can come get them. but the kids were all 2.5yrs so there able to adjust better, but i think it would be a start. iv had to rearange when i get up lol

Oh that's a tough one! I say keep him the the crib for a bit to get him used to being in there and sleeping through the night so you can get used to it too, then a lock and baby moniter is a good idea from that person above! Oh man, good luck! He's do great whatever you decide!
