They were quick to demonstrate it in front of us, by just throwing one leg over the top, pulling themselves over, and dropping down to the floor. Well that&#8217;s not very good for mom and dad, knowing that they can get out anytime that they want! <\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tomchak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/2009-08-29-img-0336.jpg\" class=\"image-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"linked-to-original\" src=\"https:\/\/tomchak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/2009-08-29-img-0336-thumb2.jpg\" height=\"400\" width=\"598\" style=\" text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 10px;\" \/><\/a>Their room was not really totally child proof, since we really never let them play in there. We had plenty of things that they could get into &#8211; like old fireworks, open paint cans and a case of &#8220;easy strike&#8221; matches. So, we had to make some changes. All of those things are now in the bottom drawer of their dresser. <\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tomchak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/2009-08-29-img-0333.jpg\" class=\"image-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"linked-to-original\" src=\"https:\/\/tomchak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/2009-08-29-img-0333-thumb2.jpg\" height=\"400\" width=\"598\" style=\" text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 10px;\" \/><\/a>They now have toddler beds (cute little beds from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/us\/en\/catalog\/products\/S39847516\" target=\"_blank\">IKEA<\/a>) that can be adjusted as they get taller. On the surface it wasn&#8217;t all that expensive, until you doubled the price for everything since we needed 2 of them. <\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tomchak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/2009-08-29-img-0299.jpg\" class=\"image-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"linked-to-original\" src=\"https:\/\/tomchak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/2009-08-29-img-0299-thumb2.jpg\" height=\"308\" width=\"267\" style=\" text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 10px;\" \/><\/a>How have they done? It&#8217;s been a challenge, but they&#8217;re getting better. The first several nights they screamed, cried and spent an hour jumping on the beds and sometimes hitting the floor. Now they&#8217;re much better. The crying time is less then 15 minutes and for the most part they sleep through the night. <\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tomchak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/2009-08-29-img-0300.jpg\" class=\"image-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"linked-to-original\" src=\"https:\/\/tomchak.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/2009-08-29-img-0300-thumb2.jpg\" height=\"400\" width=\"600\" style=\" text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 10px;\" \/><\/a>So now the room is all setup for the two of them plus #3, and their new sibling due to be here in just 12 more weeks.
