So, to explain. About a week ago, Kevin and I snuck off after the children's lunch to have a Chinese restaurant meal together. It was nice, it was fun, and we thought Daniel was in bed peacefully sleeping while everyone else was playing games, so all should be calm at home.
When we got home, we discovered that Daniel had decided that napping in his pack and play wasn't nearly as interesting as hurtling his small body OUT of the pack and play. Which he did, more than once. So the big girls found Daniel wandering around the house when he was supposed to be napping.
ARGGHGGHHH! Our small boy was no longer safe in a pack and play!
Kevin ran off to get a spare mattress from his grandmother's house, and we put it on a bed frame that has been sitting without a mattress in the little girls' room. So we thought we'd move Sarah into a "big bed" and put the crib in Daniel's room.
Sarah made the transition to the big bed with no problems at all. She hasn't fallen out once!
And Daniel, to our surprise, decided that his pack and play was fine at NIGHT (maybe because it is dark) so he actually hasn't needed the crib moved into his room. So now I am putting Daniel in this crib during his nap time and he is still in his pack and play at night.
I like the setup better with the crib and Miriam's bed switching positions. In actual fact, we didn't need to move Sarah into a big bed but she is fine in it, so we'll leave her there.
I am thinking that as the days get longer and 7:15 p.m. (Daniel's bedtime) gets progressively lighter, we may start having trouble with him hurtling out of his pack and play. In that case, we will likely need to move the crib.
