Baby Room vs. Toddler Room (according to Caleb)

1. baby name vs. cool name

2. crib cage vs. "free access/independence honoring" toddler bed

3. closet sometimes left open during nap/bed time vs. new plastic sliding locks on both folding doors--out of reach to the curious-with-best-intentions, closet-playing toddler

4. video monitor placed on wall above crib vs. video monitor pulled off the wall and broken, unable to be fixed (so no "big brother"parental eyes can spy on the "big brother to be" while in the privacy of his room)

5. room appliances (i.e. CD player, night light, monitor) plugged in wherever convenient vs. all cords moved/removed as to not be exposed to tiny engineer-to-be hands

6. books of all kinds placed "cutely" for use and decorations vs. all non-board books removed from room by parental figure (and often times all board books pulled on floor by energetic toddler during naptime exploration/rampage)

7. all dresser drawers closed most of the time vs. bottom two drawers sometimes open, with socks or shoes "arranged" all over the floor by tiny hands

8. pacifier (a.k.a. Soothie) either in baby's mouth or in baby's crib vs. Soothie either in toddler's mouth (supposedly just during sleeping time) or on top of dresser (placed by parental figure) or on top of stuffed animal (while they "night night" during toddler play time)

9. baby always sleeping in crib during nap/bed time vs. toddler sometimes sleeping in bed and sometimes sleeping in creative spaces around the room

10. my parents' vs. MINE
