She never wanted to climb out of her crib, but for her 3rd birthday I switched it to a toddler bed. The first night in the bed, she had nightmares and twice fell out, but now we use her doll crib as a makeshift bedrail, which she really likes and seems to soothe her and keep her in place while sleeping. Naptimes have been difficult - she has trashed her room, had fitful sleep, and the other day let herself out of her room without my husband hearing it on the baby monitor - any tips from parents on how to handle this?
And nope, not potty trained yet. Want to do the 3-day method, read it and am ready, but my husband is hesitant. He didn't want to take apart the crib, he's not ready to potty train. I don't think he's ready to see his baby turn into a little girl, and it's especially hard since he is the primary caregiver. Ah well, we'll get it in due time!

We put one of those baby doorknob handles over the knob in DS's room when we switched him to a toddler bed last year. We don't have any issues with him escaping. As far as the room-trashing-- DS did that, too, but he quit after about 2 weeks.
My, she HAS grown up! Sigh, growing... you have fun with all of the new things they can do, and then one day you step back and see how much they've changed. Funny how it's both exciting and saddening.
I hope Daddy gets on board with potty training soon; she has to get out of diapers sometime, why not now? There's a three day weekend coming up... good luck, Momma. ;-)
