Oh i was hoping this would happen so much later than it is lol.
On Monday one of my 20 month twins climbed out of his playpen during nap time. Later that day while my DH and I were in the room L demonstrated to us how easy it was for him to get in and out. I don't want him to hurt himself so I'm guessing it's time to move him into a bed.
I took off the rail on their cribs and turned them into toddler beds. Both boys were on the floor in the morning so I've moved both of them to floor beds. They are now taking more than an hour to fall asleep at night and naps have been a disaster the last few days. We do the same routine we did before changing their beds, but they are so excited that they can run around that they aren't going to sleep.
I tried keeping the crib together and dropping the mattress to the floor, but while I was getting this all set up E wiggled his way through the bottom of the crib and was out! I've tried snuggling with them, but they are so wound up that they just want to run around. So they run around until they're done and put themselves to bed.
They are also waking up crying in the middle of the night now when they used to sleep right through and they won't go back to sleep unless I'm in the room with them.
I get that it's a big adjustment for them, but I'm tired and they are too. Help please!
