Toddler on the move

Wow. That seems to be a blanket statement. Our 11-month old has been standing (with no help from anything to get that way or stay there) for more than a month and is now starting to walk a majority of the time. I'm not even close to considering a bed for him. In fact I'm pretty sure a bed would be a disaster. When the crib doesn't contain any more obviously it's time to move, but I'd wait and see what works best for the individual kid.

Our oldest two were a little more than 2 and almost 3, respectively, before they moved out of the crib. The second probably should have been moved a bit earlier, but we were moving soon and didn't want to get a bed until we got to the new place. We had very few containment issues, though.

 

Holy shit, this had me laughing at work this afternoon.

 

Yeah. That was my favorite line on SJ today.

 

Seriously, I'm laughing again. Might be the best line on SJ this summer.

 

My first, and quite inappropriate, thought as well.

 

As a horse person, my first thought was duct tape. We fix everything with duct tape.

 

Goody, goody for you! Just so you know, you're not alone:

Boy, I sure do hate that my kids are past this stage. It's ever so much easier now that all I have to worry about is pregnancy, car wrecks ... Oh my God!
