Jude's growin up

A few nights ago, Carter "helped" Jude climb out of his pack 'n play by throwing all his blankets and stuffed animals in to raise the mattress level. They both came running out of their, so proud of themselves. We weren't too worried, since it was the pack 'n play and not his actual crib. Well, last night, these two little squirts once again joined forces. After putting them in bed, we heard a thump and then a cry. Sure enough, there he was laying on the floor outside his crib with Carter perched up on the changing table - no doubt the climbing coach. Dennison got right to work and converted the crib to this toddler bed. We then told Carter to keep the bedroom door shut so that Jude would stay in and go to sleep. Carter had a little too much fun with that responsibility... opening the door until Jude got close and then slamming it shut and laughing hysterically. They laughed and played and teased for about an hour and then this magic happened. They both fell asleep in their own beds!!!!! And slept all night!!!!!!

Jude even fell asleep in his bed for a nap today. So far, so good.

Doesn't he look like such a big boy now?

ha ha, Bry and I were talking about this the other night, and we joked how Jack will probably still be sleeping in his crib (with the crib tent, mind you) until he starts elementary school, maybe junior high. I have a feeling that he won't master the big boy bed quite as quickly as Jude did! Hilarious that Carter was the one teaching him how to climb out. Little boys rock.
