Crib days

The other day Ali kept laying down in Sofia's toddler bed which Sofia was not too happy about. Instead of argueing about how Sofia should share I decided that it was her bed and if she didn't want Ali on it then so be it. I told Ali that I would put the side of her crib down so that she could get in it if she wanted. I figured that she couldn't climb out when the side was up but if I put the side down it would be fine. I created a terror! She didn't want to come out of her crib at all so I just put the side up and sure enough she climbed right out. I kept my fingers crossed that it would be a one time deal since she has climbed out before but then wouldn't do it again for a long time. I wasn't that lucky this time. This morning Jason nudged me and said, "you have a visitor.". I rolled over and helped Ali climb on the bed. That isn't unusual since whenever Jason gets Ali in the morning she wants to see me and climbs up on my chest. It took me a minute but then I asked, "Did you go get her?". The answer...."No". Ali had climbed out of her crib on her own. I put her down for nap today and she didn't fight it. I thought that was a good sign. She had a good long nap and then I heard her make a little fussy noise so I immediately went in to her so that she wouldn't have to climb out. What did I find when I opened the door?? That's right...Ali running across her room to the door. So, not only is she climbing out but it is taking her no time at all! Her crib days are limited. We will see how long we can hold off before we turn her bed into a toddler bed. I don't imagine it will be very long.
