I didn't ever even try to get her to stay in bed...I was just glad she slept within 10-15 minutes. Sometimes I wish I had tried to get her to stay in bed, because she still sleeps on the floor over her full-sized bed about half the time. *sigh* oh, well. I feel like she's finally growing up...we've had a doorknob cover on her door since she started opening doors because she wouldn't stay in her room. Today she took it off and didn't come out...we've hit a new milestone I think. Kiandra switched to mattress on the floor at about 19 months, then twin-sized bed later on.

I feel like she’s finally growing up…we’ve had a doorknob cover on her door since she started opening doors because she wouldn’t stay in her room. Today she took it off and didn’t come out…we’ve hit a new milestone I think.

For now, I pat myself on the back (while simulataneously knocking on wood) that she's napping on her mattress. Of course, she took until 2:15ish to fall asleep, and even then, it was in the car. She was so tired (her normal nap is around 11:30 or 12), she didn't even budge when I laid her down. My only regret from last night is not getting a picture of her sleeping with her face planted on the floor. I was too afraid I'd wake her up. So how *do* you get a toddler to stay in bed, anyway?

Baby-gating the doorway was also pointless. Now I think bars on our bedroom door would be nice just to keep them from crawling into our bed and stealing the covers. At least now you don't have to worry about dust bunnies propagating under the bed. In our house toddler beds were only for stuffed animals (and suckers). Baby-gating the doorway was also pointless.

I haven't yet come across what will break me out, but I'm sure that first night with no crib bars may just throw me over the edge. Thankfully I have a LONG time to go before that happens.
