Luke the Climber

While out of town over Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa B's, Luke discovered that he could climb out of his pack n' play.

This was the first trip where all three kids had shared the same room, and after Erin had picked him up out of his pack n' play one morning, he thought he'd try it for himself the following morning.

So naturally, when we got back home, he climbed right out of his big crib. I waited a few days to see if he would repeat this, and he did continue to do it a few more times. So we knew the crib days were over.

He spent his first night out of his crib a couple of nights ago and he's doing great with it. He has such a solid bedtime and naptime routine that he knows it's time to sleep. He lays right down and stays put (well, for his two naps so far, he has gotten up once each time, but not again after I tell him to lay back down).

You never know how they are going to do with this new freedom, but his is making it so easy on us. Such a big boy.
