Of course the proper bedtime behavior will last (NOT). Of course they will stay in their beds (Oh, that is a funny one too). And of course they will not jump on the beds (wow – three for three there).

Our three year olds have bounced their beds clean out of the screws – and get up at 5am, go downstairs and try to cook pancakes. No – I am not kidding.

I do need to know – did you get one of those “room preppers” in to get the kids’ room ready for the photo shoot? How the heck do you get their room to stay so neat? What other superparenting tricks have you been hiding from us? Or am I just maintaining my role as the President of the Easily Impressed Club? But seriously, their room looks pristine, and I AM impressed!

As for the transition and the staying in bed – it’s fantastic! I love it when things work like a charm. Don’t worry about how long it’ll last – just enjoy it now! You know as well as I do what all these delightful children have taught us – change is beautiful!

I wish my kids were still in their cribs. I may just put bars on their bedroom door.

I was an escape artist as a child. There was a big bed already in the room..cause my room used to be the guest room.. I LIKED the big bed. Eventually they gave up and let me move.

You have twins, and blankets in their cribs neatly stacked and kids sitting so innocently? You bribed them with candy? Admit it…

Oh goodness, thank you for this post! I was beginning to think we were being way too cautious as Da’Gorgeouses are still in their cribs and we have no intention of moving them into toddler beds until we absolutely have to–LOL! Of course it’s past 11 pm and they’re still chatting with each other through the slats in those cribs (they so don’t listen to rules yet!) *sigh*

Hugs & Blessings!

Loved the pics and transition story, but even more so, I love the fact that we have the exact same wallpaper border in our daughter’s bedroom! Does that mean we’ll eventually have to get the same bed you have?!?

how on earth did you make it so long???!?! i’m so impressed. Emily was in a big bed at FIFTEEN months! hahaha! i was always so envious of my friends whose kids didn’t realize they could get out on their own. i hope it lasts for you! for me it lasted oh, um, about 8 seconds with each kid!
