Hi Nettie

Daniel went in to a big bed around February because we knew the new baby was coming (one day - or so I've heard!!) He had a bed guard on, but we've since taken that off. He doesn't fall out. We went out and made a big deal of buying a Lightning McQueen quilt and new sheets with cars on them. We still call it "Daniel's big bed." He really likes that. He never slept this well in the cot either.

As for playing outside. Not for ages yet. But I suppose it depends on your set up. If I had the pergola set up so I could cordonne it off (with gates), I'd probably happily let him play on the porch unsupervised. I don't know that I'd let him out in the yard by himself though. But my yard is still under construction, so probably not a good example.
