I'll roll on up in here too.
S woke up last night at Midnight, 2:30, 4, 5 and 6. H tried to take him at 4 and he just screamed the whole time.
Yesterday on the drive home from daycare B told me a story about the Problem Kid at daycare (who we call K) and now another little boy, who we'll call E. It involved the end of day, they were playing in the Centers. B went over by K and E because they were playing with the mega blocks. K and E told B that he couldn't play with them. B said that sharing is awesome and could they share with him? And apparently E told B to "shut your mouth" (MY FACE AT THIS: ) and that they weren't friends with him and he should go away.
Then B informed me that he doesn't like his "red school" (daycare) anymore and that he wants to go to his new school because his friends there are nice. </3
Nearly every day he comes home with a story about K, and now this kid E. I do obviously take time to talk to him about how he can handle it - that he can play with other kids, that he should go to the teacher if they're being really mean, that he should not be mean back (that was yesterday because he apparently responded to E in kind - which he told me, which makes me smile that he's so honest like that. makes me feel like I'm doing a halfway decent job if my kid is honest when he's naughty), etc.
He did say that the teachers said they were going to talk to K and E's parents.
But I am considering taking it to the Regional Manager. I have talked to the teachers. I have talked to Director 1. I have talked to Director 2 (who was the Assistant Director and is taking over in Director roll, Director 1 having left after only a few months in that position). But Director 2 is not here this week, so we have another temporary director. It's a lot of turnover and not much stability. Regional Manager has been there since before we started at this daycare.
I do wonder if part of all of this is because he is leaving. Like these little boys are ostracizing him because he won't be there anymore after he starts at his new school. But still. It makes me so sad for him. I wish I could just pull him out and send him to our new preschool now.

DS has decided that sleeping is for suckers, he wakes up once or twice a night, and then decides he's up for the day at 5:30am. It's taking everything I have to manage any patience with my children.

My mom took dd to the fair and I was hoping to do that whole sleep when the baby sleeps thing. DS had other plans and has been cluster feeding all day.
I pulled the goalie. Meaning my mirena iud has been removed. One cycle from now we'll be ttc #2. I'm asceered.
Obvs we figured out our budget issues. Itll suck for a few years but we'll make it without too much pain.
I hate hormones. HATE. Ive had a headache for 2.5 days now and I kinda have to blame the iud. Fucking body being all stupid.
Random questions: what is the youngest you'd move a kid out of a crib and into a toddler bed? How do you know if they're ready? I don't want to buy a 2nd crib if I dont have to.

We converted B's crib to a toddler bed around his 2nd birthday. He grew out of the crib's height limit.
He actually was really really good about staying in his bed, even without a rail or whatever. He rolled out of bed maybe twice in the first week and that was it. And then for months and months he wouldn't get out of his bed until I came in to get him in the morning.

I promised DD that I would change her crib to a "big girl bed" today. Here's hoping I can figure it out.
She woke up at 1:40 this morning and didn't go back down until 2:00, after I took her into the living room to snuggle for a bit. My good sleeper needs to come back ASAP.

Wait is she even walking yet?
Once they are in a non-crib they will get up and out to come get you in your room, so that's something to remember. You can always baby-gate off her room but you still have to worry about her potentially roaming around the room at odd hours.
I think @majorwife did it fairly early so maybe she has some ideas. I personally liked keeping her in a crib until 3ish when she needed to be able to get out to use the toilet at night instead of a diaper.
Even if you got a toddler bed, you'd still have to buy a 2nd crib mattress for it and sheet sets. Cheap cribs are $100 and I think many toddler beds are $60+ unless you are like me and get one off craigslist for $25

Did you mean that jokingly? Shes been walking for 6 months. Thats a good point on the mattress. Cant I just put her in a twin with rails? Is that bad for some reason?

A mom friend moved her older 2 kids to mattresses on the floor at 18 and 20 months so the respective new baby could have the crib. For her it worked. They were still so young that they didn't get that they could actually get off the mattress so she would praise and reward them for staying in bed until mommy/daddy came and by the time they realized they could explore they were so ingrained not to that they stayed in bed with the occasional grabbing a particular stuffed animal or toy, and eventually going to the bathroom.

I moved dd at 18 months because she climbed out of her crib. It was a rough couple of days and she slept in front of the door for few days. I plan on keeping ds in longer if he doesn't inherit the daredevil gene, but I am sure there would be an adjustment period even if we waited longer.

Yeah, there's that too. Shes a climber. For now she hasn't tried to escape the crib, but its just a matter of time.
wawa you can officially call me cheap because my kids are way closer than yours will be and I gave about 2 seconds thought to 2 cribs. We built a toddler bed out of ~$40 of wood and some leftover fabric and used a hammidown crib mattress.
He was a hair over 2 when we switched him. It took a few weeks for him to get the idea that he could get out, and then there was some suckage while he got the idea that he has to stay in bed until the toddler clock goes off. He's really gotten consistent the last couple months. He'll still come in our room if something bothers him in the MOTN.
There is this advice not to "displace" the older kid with the new baby, so you want to separate moving to the toddler bed somewhat from putting the new baby in it. We waited until after J was born to move A because we knew he'd be in our room for awhile. He ended up being 9 mo before we moved him to the crib mostly because they share a room and I wanted him sleeping decently so I wasn't in and out and waking up A. So J was born, few months passed, A moved out of the crib, few more months passed, then J went in the crib.

I *wish* mine would come get me. She will play in and out of that bed all day, but as soon as it's bedtime she's suddenly unable to remove herself from it. I get the ominous "MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!" comign from her room.
LT was not even 2 and we moved him to a bed (we went queen in case we needed to lay with him). He did really well.
LT was bitten, again, by the same kid (this time, right under his eye). Said child is leaving as of this Friday, but I am a bit scared to leave him until after the child is gone. I know kids bit, and he has been bitten many times int he past, but never scabbed over (back) and never under his eye/on his face. I know said child has a Family Service Plan and gets services, but I am mad for LT. He is barely fazed by it, but I started crying when I picked him up. This may be the straw that leads met to take him to the school I will be next year.

We moved DS into a twin bed at 20 months. It was no big deal and took him at least another year to realize he could get out of bed before we came to get him.
