I'm considering moving Joey from a crib to a bed. He's not sleeping well in his crib anymore and I'm wondering if he's just not comfortable. The very frustrating part of having three young children so close together is that just when one (Olivia) starts sleeping through the night another one (Joey) starts getting up again. And the third (Katelyn) has been up off and on lately with teething issues and a double ear infection. I feel like I haven't gotten a full night's sleep in 3 years.
So anyway, I'm thinking about the bed for Joey. I'm nervous though. He has always (with the exception of the last few nights) slept so well in his crib, never tried to climb out or anything like that. I feel like I'm asking for trouble in giving him more freedom. I think I'll need Supernanny to come teach us the bedtime routine. A part of me thinks he is ready and needs more space to curl up for a good night's sleep. Another part of me thinks that he's had enough changes for now, he's probably not sleeping well because of all of the traveling and craziness we've put him through, and I should give it some more time.
Any advice is welcome here... been there, done that? I wanna hear from you!

Give him some more time. You have only been in NC for a little while. He is just getting used to his environment. He will get used to it. See how long he is in his crib - I'd put him in a big boy bed when he is too long for the mattress. Good luck.
The big boy bed is a big step and only YOU know when he is ready. Try it. At first it will take some time getting used to but at the same time it's a fun time.
