Two years seemed long enough to sleep in a crib. Maybe less than two years if you don't count the early days when he would only sleep in the car seat. Plus the crib converts to a bed and we figured that we should use that feature for a little while before a new baby needs the crib.
Of course unleashing nap time has lead to some issues with tissues. One day he somehow got to the wipes and threw them everywhere around the room. Either before or after that, he pumped half a bottle of lotion out and put it on his head, shirt, blanket, and anywhere else he could get to. At that moment I almost regretted the words I sing when applying his lotion: "Lotion cow-dog, lotion Finn, lotion everybody".
He dosn't always stay in bed, though that is getting more common. The is a typical picture of him at nap time. He gets out and goes onto the floor to play. At some point he gets tired and wants to get back in bed, but he doesn't always make it before sleep hits.
We're getting a bit nervous about the arrival of the second. We're not really completely unpacked (but are likely to never be now) and the time is amazingly short. We're only 4 weeks away from the point when Finn was born with the second one. Yikes.

are you guys getting him a big boy bed after the new baby arrives so you dont have to buy a 2nd crib?
we only had 1 crib but our boys were a bit closer together (19 mos apart) so we borrowed one for a bit.
it's down now but will be put back up in summer time i guess when our boys have to share room. it's not a convertible one so once the crib is done, we will likely give away. ha. NO MORE!
He is so adorable!! I remember my boys falling asleep like that, too.
Since this happened, we got him his own bed and reconverted the crib back to a crib. More to come on that...
I can't even imagine ever getting to that point where Will isn't all boxed in. I'm terribly impressed!
Way to go Finn!
