So, we started out our baby journey with a pack n’ play type of crib. The kind of crib that you can fold up and take anywhere, on a picnic, to a friend/family members house, and so on.  It had a bassinet attachment, that I loved very much, in the first few months of my sons life.

Once my son was old enough to roll over, I removed the bassinet and he began sleeping in the lower crib area. That worked for a while, but was hell on my back.  It was always aching me, and a friend mentioned that it must be the crib that’s causing so much pain.
So, we asked around, and a friend brought me a beautiful white crib, and we assembled it and my son stayed in it the entire time until he just barely turned 14 months old.

The other night, my son happened to find a way out of the crib, which managed to scare both my husband and myself beyond belief, because he could have been seriously hurt, but thankfully was not.

So, now I’m shopping around for toddler beds, and a friend brought me a bed that can convert from a crib, to a toddler bed, then become a headboard for an adult bed.  We just barely put it together last night, but I’m thinking there must be a safer devise to keep kids in, but to not be so high that if they attempt to jump, they’ll really hurt themselves.

I’ve been looking online at toddler beds, and they seem like twin beds, but with a half railing on the side of the bed. This seems a little more feasable, with my son (who is still quite young), but we’ll have to see how well he does on this bed for a few more nights before figuring out if this is the right bed for him, or if we must try something new.

Either way, all kids are different. Some kids are content in cribs until they’re a few years old and they can move on into a real bed. Some kids are like little monkeys trying to escape from prison.  Wonder which one I have?
