What worked really well for us was putting a mattress on the floor. You can't roll off a mattress. Once the kid can reliably sleep on a mattress, go to a bed. Toddler beds are really cute (we bought one), but a twin with a rail will do fine.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.

We did that with Bobby and it worked great. With Brendon we had a single waterbed with the old style box frame and it sat on the floor. He loved it.
Mmmm I think I should show up at Kristin's for breakfast.
I'm at work. So much to do. sigh
{{sj}} I'm 5'5" and I've done the bar stool thing. Tricky they are.

I do the barstool thing nearly every time I go out. And that's before I even have anything to drink. I'm a total klutz with them.

I'm getting the pig!
When you are 4' 10" getting on and off of bar stools can be very difficult.
I can only imagine and I'm sorry it happened at all but especially sorry it happened when it did. {{sj}} Do I need to remind Teacup Guy that he's under strict instructions not to let anything bad or remotely humiliating happen to you when you're in his care? Hmph! (Not that you can't take care of yourself. You can and do, quite well.)
My cat Ashton refuses to eat anything out my hand but has no problem stealthily sitting behind me on the couch and attempting to snatch food off of my fork when it's on the way to my mouth.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I did that the night I met my husband, sj. Though I should probably blame the beer rather than just my height. In any case, the embarassment was short-lived, as I'm sure yours will also prove to be.

Man Kristin, that sounds GREAT!

Thanks, Raq! I have to admit, the steak last night was pretty friggin' good.

CJ is ready for another hair cut. He wants to keep his mohawk, but I need to find a different place. The last chick didn't shape it well. I mean, I know he has an odd shapped head, but isn't that their job - to make it work?
