In the middle of the night last night I heard a strange sound on the baby monitor. Sort of a “SPROOING” and it woke me up. The only thing that I’ve ever heard like that before was the sound of our springs being removed from the trampoline when we took it apart 15 years ago. (And by “we” I mean my Daddy. Of course.) So anyway, I tiptoed in the nursery and discovered that one of the support springs had popped off of the crib!
You can see the broken spring dangling under the crib.
Hubster checked it out and we decided it would be fine for the night, but we don’t want to continue letting Bri sleep in the crib. It’s summer time and I think she’s ready for a big girl bed! We had a twin sized bed stored in our garage for this occassion, but it was ruined by the weather. Can you believe how much rain we’ve been getting lately?
Bridoodle loves to jump in her crib. No wonder the springs are popping off!
I never post blurry pictures, but I loved these shots of Bri jumping on her bed. Her hands are perfectly still and in focus. And I can see her happy smile through the blur.
We’re going to start her off with a mattress on the floor so that if she rolls off it won’t hurt. It’ll be a few weeks before we move up to a real bed. In the mean time, we will probably be losing lots of sleep.

Wow, looks like a big move for Bri. I hope the transition goes well for your little monkey.
We are hoping to keep JSL in his crib for as long as possible. He is thinking about climbing out, so not sure how long. We may make it into a toddler bed (never did that with NHL). This will buy us more time before we have to figure out how to get two twin beds into the room, or buy bunk beds.
