We moved Nathan to a “big boy bed” (i.e. toddler bed) at the end of October. He wasn’t trying to climb out of the crib and he was happy enough in there, but we were given a toddler bed from some friends and Nathan was excited about the idea of it, so we switched. So far so good. He’s waking up at night now and then, which he wasn’t doing before, but otherwise has been sleeping great. There have only been a couple times where he’s come out of his room when he should be sleeping, and if I take him back in and rub his back a bit, he’s fine.

And he loves the bed. He plays in his room more now and loves jumping on the bed or piling all his stuffed animals on it.
This is right after we made the switch.

This is generally what his room looks like by the end of the day. I like that he’s enjoying his room more though. The latest game is piling every single stuff animal (not the puppets though!) on a blanket and pretending its a boat or that it’s “safe” from the Tickle Monster (i.e. Daddy.)
