The decision to move my daughter from the cot to the bed was forced when I walked in to the room and she vaulted over the cot bars on to the floor.
The bar was at it highest position.

Probably shouldn't have had a kid with a kangaroo.

Our youngest is still in the cot but is happy to sleep in a bed too if she ever has to. She climbs around the top perimeter of the rail, hops into her sisters' bed sometimes. It's well big enough for her so why not leave her there, says I.

Our 20 month old kid leapt over the side of the cot this weekend and had a very inelegant and stressful landing (I was in the room at the time and all), so we decided to convert the cot to a bed pretty much immediately to avoid him hurting himself.

Last night started out relatively predictable - he kept wandering out, maybe 6 or 7 times. He went down grand after a bit.

The real problem was at 2.30AM or so when he decided to wander out of bed and play with toys. There was a lot of crying and returning him to bed - it was an hour or two until he went back to sleep. He was totally destroyed this morning (and we're not the best either).

So, not a great start so far.

2nd night - didn't get up once. Probably because he was knackered from the night before, but we'll take it.

3rd night in and all going well. Still upset when we leave him, but he's falling asleep quicker each time.
