It wasn't a fluke!

So, for 3 days straight, except for this morning when i got there in time to divert him, Spencer has climbed out of the crib. After the first morning, we were hoping it was just an accident and that he would "forget" how he did it. But it wasn't meant to be. The funny thing is, yesterday after his nap, he didn't even try to get out! I don't know if he associates being able to get out in the morning with being able to get out anytime. Or maybe he just decided it isn't worth it!

Nevertheless, we decided it was time to spring for a big boy bed. Rather than get a toddler bed now and have to get a new crib mattress and then have to buy ANOTHER bed when he outgrew that, we would just get him a twin bed. We went to Furniture Row and found a solid wood, very boy-looking twin bed where 1) you don't need a box spring and 2) there are two levels to put the bed at. When he was it, he immediately climbed up on it and layed down on the pillow. So, it just might work! However, we don't have a mattress or sheets or anything else, so we will fight the crib battle for a little longer til we can get it all together. Plus, he new room is full of newborn baby stuff, so until we know if we are having a boy or girl, and until we have time to move everything out, he will just have to make due!

Really, though, it isn't much of a fight. He is a very good climber (he has gotten in trouble a few times at school for climbing) so we aren't really worried about him getting out. Except yesterday he threw a HISSY FIT when the door didn't open immediately! He will just have to learn to come look for us if we aren't there, although I am not looking forward to that at 3 am! His monitor doesn't work in our new house (too far between the rooms) so we are depending on our very own ears to hear him, which are slightly less than perfect!

Oh well, can't wait to get started on my two babies new rooms. Just having to wait til Wed. to see what kind of room the 2nd room will look like!

In other news, have a great memorial day. We have several in our family in the military, so while we are cooking out and swimming we will try to take a few minutes to remember them and their families who give up so much for our country!
