last weekend jacob got a new mattress. the original mattress that was in his crib was a free offer when we bought his crib. and you get what you pay for (or don't pay for)... it was a cheap mattress, very thin, and we feel awful for having made him sleep on it as long as we did. well...the new mattress we bought last weekend is about 3 or 4 inches thicker than the old one. 3 or 4 inches of comfort for our little boy, jesse and i were thinking..... "3 or 4 inches closer to getting myself out of this crib", is what jacob is thinking.
he waited a week, i guess, because it wasn't until yesterday when i had put him in his crib for play time, that i heard his pitter patter footsteps upstairs while i was feeding kate. i run upstairs...."Jacob!!!!" he shouts back, "jacob!!!". you little stinker! he must have understood, because i put him back in for the remainder of his play time and he stayed in until i came to get him 10 minutes later.
then it was naptime....and this time i heard a "thump". i dash upstairs where i find him standing on the outside of his crib, holding his puppy, rocking back and forth, singing the "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" song (just as we do with him when it is bedtime). i couldn't help but laugh...
so is it time for a toddler bed?? or how about a mesh net?? any suggestions?
here's my mischeiveous little man enjoying some play time outside with this nice weather we've been having:

Oh, gosh, I got a good chuckle out of all this; especially when you said he shouted "Jacob!" back at you. Loved it. He looks so much taller in these pictures.
Toddler beds are better than broken arms:) We just put Clay in his "big boy bed" a couple months ago and I was worried he'd be getting out of it all the time (I liked having him contained), but he goes right to bed no problem!
I'd go with a big boy bed, too. Isaac switched about a month ago and is doing great.
