Hunter's New Bed

We got Hunter a new toddler bed today. For the last 2 weeks, he has been climbing out of his crib. Each morning he comes walking into our bedroom as if to say 'good morning, wake up'. Then, last night, he had been asleep for more than 1 hour. All of a sudden, he was in the living room. None of us heard him. I figured that at least if he had a toddler bed, he could get back in it if he got out. Plus, we don't want him to get hurt climbing out of his crib. It is quite a drop. He slept for 1 1/2 hours this afternoon and only got out once. He went right to bed this evening and is sleeping sweetly.
