@wrkbrk: thank you. LO is 20 months old. He completely shocked us by climbing out of his crib one evening , which meant it was time to convert it for safety purposes. We were definitely not ready to give up the crib. He loves getting in and out of his bed on his own.

@wrkbrk: that is so nice of you!! I’m over here in disbelief that the time came so soon. We tried to get LO to show us how he did it because the monitor was pointed at the glider and not his crib. LO was not giving up the secrets though.

@agold: thank you! I really wanted to add curtains to the windows and kept buying and taking curtains back. When I finally found two more “perfect” ones to try DH said to back away. At least I know where to start when it’s time to make the room a big boy room.

The bunching down doesn’t bother me comfort wise- maybe because I’m short, but it totally irks me to see it. I am constantly taking the cushion off, shaking it out, and plopping it back down. I wasn’t an ottoman type person until I got the Monte. Literally, that ottoman influenced two additional purchases where I can put my feet up. The Monte ottoman moves and it makes rocking (gliding) so much more enjoyable. It’s the perfect height to go along with the chair, which was the deciding factor to buy it. We figured if we ended up sleeping in the chair this would be the best way to ensure ultimate comfort. I also like that it’s really sturdy and makes a great seat when LO is possessive about sitting in his glider solo.

Yes, the triangle stacker is Grimm. I think the pole is supposed to be permanent. However, when LO was really little we were nervous with him playing with it and poking his eye out. DH took out the pole and there was a blob of glue on it. When LO got the concept of stackers better we put the pole back in and it’s very secure. The only way I know we every took it apart is the top triangle end cap, if you will, has a little space between the next triangle.

ETA: ok, that was a novel.
