The beginning, went awesome better than I ever thought it would. Noah has been playing on his bed alot and can get down himself and open his own door so I really thought it would be a battle to get him to stay in bed. However last night we took off the pillows, pulled down the quilt and laid him down. He tossed and turned a little, kicked his feet, all the normal things he does when he is going to sleep but never got off the bed. Before we knew it he was asleep and I snuck in for a picture. He looked so cute laying there in his big boy bed, but at the same time made me sad!
We kept going in and checking on him and had noticed he does move around a lot when he sleeps well at about 11:00 he started crying and we ran in and his head was hanging off the end of the bed so we put him back up to the top and put pillows at the end of the bed so it wouldn't happen again. Then he slept fine until about 5 when before I knew it Matthew was in there with him, he heard the boom and jumped out of bed to see what happened. Noah had fallen out in between the small space of the wall and where the bed rail starts. It's not very much room, how he managed to do it I'm not sure but after that I didn't want to put him back in the bed until we figured out something we could do to prevent that from happening again. The remainder of the night he spent in his crib, safe and content. We felt bad, he didn't get hurt, I think it just scared him more than anything but it always just stinks when any accidents happen.
So today for nap I just put him in his crib again, I'm getting ready to order another bed rail so that way they go from the complete top of the bed to the bottom and we can just barricade the bottom with pillows. Until we get that though, we are just going to do the crib for a few more days!
