Yesterday, we decided that it was time to convert Jayden’s crib into a daybed.  He’s been real close to bailing out over the side of his crib for awhile and instead of waiting to hear the dreaded ‘thud’, or maybe a cracking sound as his head hits the chair on the way down, Jayden and I spent part of the morning rebuilding his bed.  Jayden pulled the door stopper off the wall and was using that to screw in the screws with.  He was a real help! 

Here is the finished product.  Jayden was real excited about his new bed!

This is what he promised me he would do in it.

We’ll see, I’m expecting more of this…

I ran out of time yesterday, so I wasn’t able to go out and get the bedrail I was planning on using.  So, I figured that we’d see how he would do in the bed without one side.  He made it through his nap without falling out, so I thought I’d press my luck at night.  I’m not afraid to admit it, it was a bad-parent-kind-of-a-risky move.  And low and behold, he managed to fall out of the bed, not once, but twice last night.  Ooops!  So, this morning we went out and got the bedrail and now he should be safe from rolling out onto the floor while sleeping!

Oh!  And I made this hat!
