I long expected Colin would be the first one to reach this milestone, but I wasn’t prepared for it to happen quite this early. But at nap time this afternoon, Colin managed to climb out of his crib. And he landed with a large thump … and a big cry.
He’s got a big red bump on his forehead, but otherwise doesn’t seem to be any worse for the wear. And John was able to get the mattress lowered a little further, which I hope will be enough to keep monkey boy from going bump in the night tonight. But once he figures out how to escape the crib with the lowered mattress, we’re sunk. Because Colin is perfectly capable of being very quiet when he wants, and can get into all sorts of mischief without even leaving his room.
Veronica, I suspect, will be more like Ethan was. Even after we moved him into a toddler bed, he wouldn’t get out of it until we told him it was okay. She recently discovered she could pull things (books) into her crib from our bed (which is right next to it), but she hasn’t shown any sign of wanting to get out on her own.
