I need to move my twin babies out of their cribs and buy them actual big girl beds.  I really dread the day I make the switch because I have visions of interrupted nights and late night games.  Sometimes when the babies are in their crib, they call for bottles.  It makes me wonder if when they are in beds, will they simply climb out of bed, make their way down the stairs, turn on the kitchen light and prepare a midnight feast.  What should I expect? 

They are two and a half years old and it is time for them to graduate from the crib, but I still feel nervous about making the switch.  I even worry about the safety in the decision.  I will probably buy beds with the little arms that can pop up to help save the tiny toddlers from rolling out of bed.  When they jump into my queen bed  I have never had an issue with either one of them falling out, but these are issues mothers worry over. 

On NBC nightly news, I heard that most babies are out of their crib by around two years of age.  I wish they provided more statistics when it comes to twins since twins are often a bit smaller than the average baby.
