Hey! We pulled roughly the same miles last week in 500 in 2010. It’s good not to be completely blown away. Although reading your blog here, I am amazed that you pull that off with all you have going on!

You know, I bet with your quilting skillz (couldn’t resist!), you could probably make the kiddos lager sleep sacks. Hey! You could even make them quilted and sell them! Woot! I claim 10% of the profits for the brilliant idea.

Wow! Love the pic of him sleeping still in the bed after all that moving him around. Cracks me up. And amazing you haven’t had any climb outs. We never did with our 9 year old daughter, but we don’t know with the boys yet. I’m curious to see what the future has in store for us.

I also don’t have a climber and she is still in her crib. I have a different crib, but it’s very similar in that it’s very deep and there’s very little chance she’ll get over the side of it b/c it’s so tall. I used to curse myself for not getting one with rails that come down, but with all the recalls out there for those types, I am now happy I did that.

Wow! I can’t believe you’ve made it this long without a climbing-out incident. We’ve never had one, but only because we transitioned Jack to a full-sized bed when he was 19 months (the only reason being that I didn’t want to buy ANOTHER crib when Derek arrived). I’m sure that we’ll have a climbing-out incident with Derek because we won’t be in as big a hurry to transition him to a bed. Duly noted about the sleep sack. With Jack, I had no idea that they made ‘em that big — I’ve never seen them in sizes past L! But recently my SIL gave me a hand-me-down XL sleep sack. I was like, WHOA!!!! She ordered it online, and I’ll be doing the same for Derek!

We had one very odd jumping incident at about 19 months. Our unhappy waker, Moshe, woke up and cried for just a couple of seconds. Then a pause and Malka starts WAILING. And she’s normally the sound sleeper/happy waker. So I go flying in only to have Moshe meet me at the door all smiling and giggly. Malka apparently was upset that her brother was out of his crib and she wasn’t! We never did figure out how he managed it (there was no thump or any other tell-tale sound). So we decided to take our chances and wait to see if we ever had a repeat. We’re now at 28 months and while we see them prop a leg on top of the railing from time to time, we’re trying to hang in with the cribs as long as possible. And just in case, when another MoM was giving away the crib tents from her trips, I snagged ‘em.

Mine will definitely be in sleepsacks until they outgrow the largest size. And I’m planning to keep them in their cribs as long as we can. Since they’ll have to share a room indefinitely, I’m not in any hurry to have them more mobile at sleep times.

We have the same cribs! So psyched that we got them, even though I had no clue at the time that they would be a future life saver in this department! Oh, and my girls are still in sleep sacks, too, when they decide not to take them off.

I agree, sleepsacks are awesome. My kiddos love them. We actually found bigger sizes and jumped from the XL sleepsacks to the 4T/5T size for my now 23 month old twins. They have feet holes which my kiddos sometimes use and sometimes don’t. I dread the day when we give these up but I know it is coming before long because we are already zipping them in backwards and my daughter still unzips herself on occasion.

Good luck with the transition to beds–I look forward to reading about it!

Ah, the sleepsack trick. That worked for us too!

The move to “big girl” beds hasn’t been too bad for us ::knock on wood::
