Avery was running out of room in his toddler bed and he was unwilling to abandon any of his stuffed animals or blankets (he is pretty loyal and soft-hearted with all of his toys). This is how I found him sleeping one night:
Phil says he used to sleep the same way, but on his knees, when he was in gradeschool and didn't fit in his twin-size bed anymore....being six feet tall in the fifth grade might do that to a person!
We bought Avery a full-size mattress just in case he turns out to be big like his Daddy, but mostly because that is what his convertible crib converts to. One broken bedrail and multiple gouges in the wood on the headboard later, we discovered that Avery's new mattress is about a quarter inch too wide to fit into the converted full-size bed frame. But even without his head- or foot-board, Avery has transitioned to his new "big bed" well and has only asked for his "little bed" a couple of times. And the good news is that when we are ready, we won't need to buy a third crib. Kids are getting kind of expensive. :)
