Converting Gavin's Bed Into a Toddler Bed

Last Thursday Lindy called me at work and her first words were "You won't believe what Gavin did." Knowing Gavin, very little surprises me and I wasn't even surprised when Lindy informed me Gavin climbed at of his crib after his afternoon nap. We've talked about his ability to perform this task and we wondered when the day would come. I think I'm more surprised he wasn't climbing out several months ago. We decided to wait a few days to see how things progressed. He climbed out again and again over the next few days after naps and then yesterday morning after sleeping through the night. To make things a bit safer for Mr. Climber Man we converted his crib into a toddler bed last night. Here are some pics that show how Gavin climbs out as well as a before and after of the crib. The crib is made by Baby's Dream and is super awesome as it has several functions. It's a normal crib with two different mattress heights (one for a baby and one for a toddler), and converts from a crib into a toddler bed, and then into an adult full-size bed. I jokingly told Gavin last week he could take his bed with him to college. Isn't it nice to have options?

Loved the pictures! That is an adorable crib. I am surprised it took the climber this long to get out. You know why he started don't you? Lindy and I were just talking about our monkeys and how they never attempted to climb out of the crib and 2 days later, Gavin is out!

I wish they had those beds when my kids were young!<br /><br />At least Gavin was kind enough just to 'climb' out. My oldest shook her crib until it fell apart, she wasn't into climbing unless food was involved!
