NO MORE CRIBS!! (wahhh)
A couple of days ago I saw Miranda jumping from her crib right into Maryssa’s crib. She fell right on Maryssa. So I put her back in her crib. I then went to Savvy and Amanda’s room to put Amanda in her crib. In less than 2.2 minutes, Miranda had climbed out of her crib and met me in Amanda’s room. It was time to take the cribs down. When I started taking them down over the weekend, I started crying. It made me so sad. My babies are growing up. (sigh). Savannah was equally sad and probably more upset because she loved seeing her baby sisters in the cribs. She would like to climb in the cribs and lie next to the babies or play with them in their cribs. That made it just that much harder for this change to happen. I plan on donating the cribs to someone in need.
Crib tents are not a good option. Can I just say the work RIP!!
I have been dreading this but at the same time I have been kind of wanting to get it over with. I was starting to get flash backs from when I was transitioning their older sister Savvy from a crib to a twin bed. That was difficult. But to transition TRIPLETS from cribs into beds….eek!! Can I make a suggestion to all of you moms, especially MOMS OF MULTIPLES… use your crib mattress on the floor when you are first transitioning them from the crib to the bed. That way if they roll off their “bed” it is only a few inches from the floor. I have a camera monitor in the room and I always see at least one of the babies sleeping on the floor.
It has been a tough few days teaching them to stay in bed, keep the door closed, it is time to go to sleep…etc. Amanda sometimes sleeps with Savvy in her twin bed or will sleep with her triplet sisters. It just depends on if Savvy is already sleeping and Amanda is wide awake then I will put Amanda with her triplet sisters to fall asleep with them so it doesn’t wake up Savvy.
