Big Boy Bed

This weekend we converted Ryker's crib into a "big boy bed." We added this rail because he would definitely fall out, but now he can get in and out of bed by himself. (Of course, good luck getting him to climb into it voluntarily!) He was pretty excited about it.

However... last night around 3:30 I heard some clanking around on the monitor and then Ryker started crying like something was very wrong. I ran in there to find him in his closet, stuck behind the vacuum! He had woken up and climbed out of bed and headed for the closet instead of the door. He got all the way in behind the vacuum before he realized he was lost and stuck and got scared. When I turned the light on he was still crying and had the saddest, most scared and upset look on his face I have ever seen. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it! He got to sleep with Mommy and Daddy the rest of the night.

... And today I bought him a night light.
