Final stages of transformation from baby to toddler...
So my boy, 20 months old, this past week has been quite busy. He has flirted with trying to climb out of the crib since last Thanksgiving by putting his foot up on the crib rail like he is doing ballet stretches but never quite having enough upper body strength to pull himself up and over.
Well those days are over. I had put him down for a nap this past Sunday and then 5 minutes later I hear him cry like I rarely hear. I run to his room, but I cannot get in because his closet door is up against his room door and something is up against the closet door. Logan's room has a sunroom connected to it so I go through the sunroom expecting to see him in his crib and he is on the floor with his feet up against the closet door. You just feel like everything is going in slow motion until you can pick him up. I pick him up and after three-four pats, he stops crying. No bruises, nothing broken.
So we now will be transitioning him to the toddler bed. But first we will have to fully baby proof his room. I have to move his bookcase out because I could bolt it to the wall but I think I am more worried that he will fall when he tries to climb it. Of course I am not going to say IF he tries to climb it since he just has the drive to climb EVERYTHING. I thought the first born was suppose to be cautious, more reserve. He also has learned to open doors by turning the knob. Not sure how he figured that one out at the same time so we will be buying door knob covers this weekend too.
On Monday not even 24 hours later, he clocked both the nanny in the morning and daddy in the evening in the mouth with a plastic Chevron car quite hard that both are needing dentist visits possibly. Told him to go to time out. He immediately kissed Vicky on the cheek to say sorry but he would not go to Daddy so he got to go back to time out.
My friend Catherine who already has two girls is about to have her third child which is a boy. I told her to get PLENTY of rest because boys are totally different than girls!
My boy is growing up too fast...
