Can we say "Toddler Bed"?

I have no words. Nothing surprises me anymore these days. My child has mutated into a monkey. I put him in his crib for 2 minutes in an attempt to pick up the living room really quick without him pulling out everything I was putting away. (I'm sure anyone with small children can relate).

When I walked into his room and found him like this, his precious little baby voice just said, "Hi. Hi.". Of course, being the safety-saavy mom that I am, I left him there for another few seconds so I could grab the camera!!

Man, that kid has no fear! Did I tell you he tried to scale the bookshelf I luckily have bolted to the wall?!

HOLY CROW BRADY! He is one brave monkey. Unfortunately I completely understand. Ben has been in a toddler bed for almost a year now. Once he learned to get out, there was no keeping him in. He does not do well as a caged monkey. ;)And get ready for some serious parenting rollercoasters. Getting them to stay in the toddler bed and sleep....whole new ball of wax....if you need some help or advise on little monkey's ~ I am here. :)My best advise - consistancy in bed time routine. It will save you!

Wow! Yes, time for the toddler bed it is! Better to spend the money on a new bed instead of a broken arm....

Oh gosh Cheryl! Brady is 100% monkey: half from his dad who I thought was going to die on Angels Landing in Zion before you were married when he was leaping around with a 2000 foot drop on each side of the mountain; and half from your childhood when I found you in the free-standing bathroom sink, standing in your high chair with your hands stuffed in your overalls, climbing up to the top of the refrigerator b/c you were smart enough at Brady's age to pull the kitchen drawers out in stair step fashion ... shall I go on? All documented with the camera, too! So I think you and Jon are in for a ride that will last a lifetime with Brady!

Nice! That's why we had to get a new crib for the baby even though we'd already had two!

OMG! I literally rolled when I saw this photo. What a truly Brady moment! I proceeded to show a few of my co-workers with one year olds what is in store for them in the coming months!

You should totally be happy! Brady's father was too lazy to go over the top...he broke the rails on his crib and went through!!
