It Takes a Village

It takes a village to raise a child and sometimes it takes a village to keep a two and half year old company at night. This is Allison's village of friends that hang out in her bed at night.

I always wonder how she can fall asleep in the position and stay asleep. You would think her arms would fall asleep and go numb.

As you can see, Allison is still in her crib. Other than those few times last summer that she tried (successfully) climbing out, she hasn't made any other attempts. I figure as long as she is comfortable in there and likes it, we will leave it up as a crib for a while longer. I think Allison actually likes it as a crib because she can hoard all her friends in there at night. Plus, I have no clue where we are going to store the front side of the crib when we transition it to a toddler bed. Hopefully this spring I can sell lots of baby clothes at a mom-to-mom sale and clear out some space in the garage.
