Sleeping in a bed is a novel idea, isn't it? You'd think one would want to sleep in their bed, but not in our house. Max has said good bye to the crib once he started escaping during nap time so we went straight to the bed. Now if we could get him to stay there, that would be great. I tallied up how many times Ry and I put him back in be done night and we got up to 61! We're trying out the Super nanny method where you have your normal routine, say good night, and walk away. Then once they come out you tell them to go back to bed and you put them back in. If they escape, you don't talk to them, don't make eye contact and then carry on the process of returning them back to bed over and over until they realize you mean business. So far, not much progress. With Ethan we just ended up locking the door, but Max's personality is so different than Ethan's. He's totally fine if you sit in the rocking chair in his room and read a book until he falls asleep, but that's just not realistic. Eventually he'll learn, but until then..."back to bed, Max!"

Tyler did great. ben not so much. We put a lock on the outside of the door. Worked perfectly. He had absolutely nothing in his room to play with or look at during this time. Once he fell asleep in whatever random spot he ended up in, I would move him to his bed. Good luck!
ugh. my kids have all been horrible at staying in their beds (and their cribs). and it doesn't help that i always get super annoyed when they're out of bed. good luck!
Uh! Not looking forward to that.
And for your other post, I'm sorry. I hate it when friends move!
That Max can be such a little stinker! 61 - that is a lot, and you have waaaay more patience than I do! He'll catch on eventually, hopefully sooner than later right?!
