My girls all got out of the crib when they were about 15 months (to make room for their new baby). Some have done better than others. Every kid is different. My second hated the toddler bed, but took over her big sister's twin. Just have patience. I find it helps to pray...a lot! Let your son pray for comort making it through the night in his new big bed. This worked with my third.Alison @ mommadidit.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04629425626887964179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664928030491155818.post-21381405982336943782010-09-05T15:18:55.644-07:002010-09-05T15:18:55.644-07:00We took the side off the convertable crib for my o...We took the side off the convertable crib for my oldest when it was time to get him into the big boy bed and it was a NIGHTMARE! (don't be afraid the story gets better!) We took him the next day to buy his own big boy bed (he was about the same age as your son is :) and then let him be a part of putting it together and making the bed. When it was time for sleep i did everything the same and didn't make any mention of the change and it seemed to work well for us! He did amazing the first night and has been great since then (it's been a year :) Good luck! I do like the idea of using a bassinet also for a while even if the transition goes smoothly, give him some time to adjust so he doesn't think the new baby "stole" his crib... again Good Luck!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459162739671195539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664928030491155818.post-37221597035516009362010-09-04T17:48:57.734-07:002010-09-04T17:48:57.734-07:00Debbi - problem is he LOVES being the baby and is ...Debbi - problem is he LOVES being the baby and is a total mamas boy. We may keep him in the crib once baby comes if we can't get him to stay in the big boy bed. Thanks for the paperwork reminder!!!<br /><br />Judy - we didn't really "decide" this was the right time...God did. Naomi will be 4 on Oct 1 and Micah will be 2.5 on Oct 2. I guess somewhere along the way we just knew we wanted more kids so we stopped trying to stop the possibility and just let God take over. Hope that answers your question!<br /><br />Bipolar Diva - I have a gift cert for a mani, pedi and facial that I plan to use in a couple of weeks!! And thanks for your kind words about my photos!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094619448071459926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664928030491155818.post-82557987569639809072010-09-04T17:36:41.254-07:002010-09-04T17:36:41.254-07:00Before baby come pedicures so you can have pretty ...Before baby come pedicures so you can have pretty tootsies!<br /><br />Your pictures, as always, are amazing!The Bipolar Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449793830455116918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664928030491155818.post-82455698142745069942010-09-04T16:44:16.381-07:002010-09-04T16:44:16.381-07:00Or, if your son really isn't ready...put baby ...Or, if your son really isn't ready...put baby in a pack & play or cradle for a while. Maybe when he sees the baby and realizes the difference, he'll be more willing to give up the crib?<br /><br />Can I just ask how old your kids are? And how you decided now was the time to have baby # 3? Has it been hard being pregnant with 2 kids? Can you tell we're thinking about it :)?Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350214072687499032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664928030491155818.post-13900064861671919802010-09-04T16:20:16.745-07:002010-09-04T16:20:16.745-07:00Buy him some cool sheets or a couple of really coo...Buy him some cool sheets or a couple of really cool pillowcases for his new bed and put baby stuff in his crib so he knows it's for baby!<br /><br />Get all of your paperwork and stuff caught up before baby comes. Get caught up on tax stuff or if there is any other "busy work" that needs to be done. You won't want to deal with that for a long time after!Debbi Does Dinner Healthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091564423796146580noreply@blogger.com
