Join a YMCA or somewhere with a pool for year round use. Our little one came home a month ago at 13 months. He transitioned well but sleeping was the most uncomfortable moments for him. He would get very uptight and this is where we noticed him almost mourning his loss most. It was very difficult to deal with especially because when he does not sleep, we do not sleep. We have found a good evening swim helps wear him out and bedtime is easier on these nights. Take those jammies to the pool and come home ready to rock and sleep.
And do get down on that floor! We spent last night at the ER seeing if our little guy had a screw somewhere between his throat and, well, you know! He somehow pulled a plastic covering plate that covers an old cable line off the wall and when noticed, we could only find one of the two screws! Guess where our first guess could have been after the floor? You got it. So, after two long hours in the ER and x-rays, still no screw. Thank goodness it was not there, but we still have not found it.
Moral of the story: We thought his room was baby proofed and he proved us wrong. Amazingly our daughter was in that room also as a baby and never once touched that plate that I don't even think I had ever really noticed since we moved in. Boys do keep you hopping!
