In the end, we decided to go with a standard twin-sized bed instead of the loft bed.

And even with that, he rolled off a couple of times in the first night, so I ran out and bought a couple of those swimming pool foam noodle toys and we slipped one under each side of the mattress pad & sheet to form a soft bumper. Seems to be working well so far…

This story had me LOL….ways your toddler wakes you up in the morning. I’ve had many of those very same wake up calls from my son. He’s 5 now and only barely sleeping well on his own through the night without crawling into our bed. Thank goodness! I just found out that some folks put a baby gate in their child’s doorway so they can yell for you in the morning but not go wandering around the house…i’ve never tried it but just so ya know.

If you get that bed, make sure to put it on the lowest level. Ace fell out of bed every night for the first week or so. I would hate to hear about Liam falling out of that bed at the highest level... .-= Jared´s last blog ..Daddy Is A Dum Dum =-.

Our little guy is just a bit over 3 now and we're bracing ourselves for the transition out of the crib and into a "real" bed. He's very quickly outgrowing the length of the crib and is technically very capable of (altho he hasn't) climbing out. My biggest fear though is that he simply won't stay in there when it's bedtime. He's down for the count once he goes to sleep, but he very often spends 30 minutes or so singing, talking, & otherwise playing before he nods off. So I worry that he'll be up & about during those first few minutes and that'll just delay bedtime more & more. We've been consider a nifty loft-style bed at Ikea called Kura that seems like something that would suit my son perfectly 'cuz he's about 2/3 monkey anyway and loves to climb. But is this a good bed to transition to from a crib? .-= Rob O.´s last blog ..Living On the Edge =-.

You got that right…he is no dummy. Maybe I could sleep better if I could sleep in a different bed than myself….

You are too funny, the poor boy probably couldn’t sleep for all the noise from you snoring and Momma talking in her sleep. He’s no dummy it’s got to be better in his room even if he falls on the floor once or twice:)
