Why? The longer he stayed in his crib, the more dangerous it was. He started really loving climbing, and most mornings I'll find him with one leg over the bars, as he tried to escape. So we figured, a bed would be low enough and easy enough so if he's tired or whatnot, he can easily rest.
The downside of his new bed is that he realized it's not as roomy as the floor especially when he has to share the space with his piggy. So almost every night right before we go to bed, I have to pick him up from the floor and put him back on his bed.
During our trip to Vegas, we found that he really can climb out of his crib so we ended up having him sleep with us. And that's how we discovered how wiggly he really was. When we first put him down, all four of us were able to comfortably fit in the queen bed- Nick and I, Kaylor and his piggy (yes piggy has to sleep with him everywhere!). As the hours passed, he would rollover in his sleep, with his arms out, thereby requiring us to inch from our old spot, since he took our place.. It got to the point that Nick almost fell off the bed, and so he had to move to other one. I thought it was going to be fine after that. But no, Kaylor moved around enough times during the rest of the night that I also got nudged off the bed. So basically, he had the whole queen bed to himself (and piggy of course).
Definitely proves that a toddler bed is way too small for him. :)
So when we got back, we brought up the futon bed and moved it to his room.
So far it's turning out OK. We'll see in another month I suppose...

Hillarious! Once in a while we find Owen asleep in his toddler bed half on and half off, meaning his lower half to his waste is hanging off the bed with knees or feet resting on the floor. Good times:)
