Thud!!

Recently we took off the rail that was on Mason's bed. He sleeps in a "big boy" bed, but he had a rail that you slide under the mattress to make sure he does not fall out. We decided it was time because he recently slept at his cousin's house in a normal bed and did not fall out for two nights in a row.

So, the first night in his own bed was fine, then the second night was fine.....the third night I hear the thud......I walk in to his room and there he is on the floor. Ok, fine, he fell out. No big deal. The next night, he was fine. Guess what happened next? Did he fall out of bed? He fell out of bed two times in one night. The second time, I'm pretty sure he fell asleep on the floor.

I was not going to put that bar back on the bed, but I did not want to have an injured son. So, since that night, I have pulled out the trundle from under his bed and I have used it as his safety net. If he does fall out, at least he will land on another mattress. Of course, he has not fallen out since the trundle experiment has begun. You know that the first night I do not pull it out will be the night he falls out again....What to do, what to do.

Some nights I wish that trundle was really a trampoline.......
