Right now she stands up and bounces on the bed anytime I'm not actively either reading to her, throwing stuffed animals at her head, or telling her not to jump. So whenever she decides to try sleeping in the bed, I know I'm in for a lot of barging in to stop the bouncing.<br /><br />MLF - I don't give a crap about the bed, but I'd rather keep my kid's head intact. She fell out of our bed (which is much higher) twice as an infant, and she fell off of a lower bed once in October when she was jumping on my bed at my parents' house. I think we've already used up our "avoid serious spinal injury" cards.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843719795344732730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22932163.post-32276830256271343102007-01-05T11:22:00.000-05:002007-01-05T11:22:00.000-05:00Gretchen, I agree with your opinion of toddler bed...Gretchen, I agree with your opinion of toddler beds. When Nathan & Rebecca graduated from their mattress on the floor, we were able to find nice twin beds (with frames&sheets) at the furniture resale store.<br /><br />But, I'm not certain that I agree with you about jumping on the bed. I wouldn't expect that the child would be heavy enough to damage the bed.<br /><br />Or is it a worry about damage to the child rather than damage to the bed?<br /><br />- MLFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22932163.post-44305512290992218552007-01-05T10:08:00.000-05:002007-01-05T10:08:00.000-05:00>>And once we get her taking naps in the crib, I'm...>>And once we get her taking naps in the crib, I'm going to be posted outside the door to nip any jumping in the bud. Fun way to spend my afternoons, huh?<<<br /><br />I love reading about your little girl and the fun you have as a mom. I think I especially enjoy it because my grandson is just a few months behind her in age.<br /><br />However, the sentence above is a little confusing to me. Did you mean to say that once she begins taking naps in the big girl bed...you'll be posted outside the door to make sure she doesn't jump in that bed as opposed to her being able to jump in the crip (because it has bigger rails)?<br /><br />Grandma ViVi <br />aka<br />G ShockleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
