So when we had kids, I always said I would keep them in their cribs until they were 5 or as long as I could. We almost made it to then. :)
Connor & Ethan were 3 1/2 when we finally took the railings off their cribs. They weren't really serving a purpose anymore because they would just climb up and over the railing and get out of bed. I would find them during 'nap time' climbing and standing on the side rail. One day they're in their room for nap and I hear on the monitor, 'Reach for my hand! Reach for my hand!' I go in there and find them both on their bellies on the front rails stretching across trying to reach each other. So we figured it was time.
Naps are almost non-existent now, bedtime is a longer process with many 'Get back in your room and in bed' threats and more often than not we end up with one, if not both of them in our bed by morning, but overall they have been pretty good with the transition.
Their first night in their 'big boy beds'
