Big boy bed

So in addition to Sora's usual nighttime wakings, lately we've had to face a new problem: Kai could now climb out of his crib. We discovered this one night when Kai unexpectedly started crying out in the middle of the night. When Nik went in to check on him, he found Kai stuck hanging off the side of his crib, crying. We tried removed the front railing from the crib, but Kai no longer wanted to sleep there. Faced with this prospect, we were forced to have Kai graduate to sleeping in a "big boy bed": the twin-sized mattress on the floor of his room. The problem with this is that Kai could now roam around freely which led to even more nighttime shenanigans. We tried solving this problem by closing the door to his room; this was a complete disaster, with almost two hours of wailing, "Mama, mama!" and unending parental guilt. After some internet research (what did parents do before the internet?), tonight, we decided to try leaving the door to Kai's room open and telling him that he needed to stay on and sleep on his mattress, otherwise we would close the door. So far, it seems to have worked.. but who knows, we may wake up in the middle of the night with Kai trying to climb into our bed.

Fingers crossed!
