From crib to toddler bed to sleepless night after sleepless night

So, it seemed like a good idea when we decided to make the change. Thomas would sometimes throw his blankets out of his crib and cry for us to come get them. I thought that him having a bed he could get in and out of would eliminate that problem. The getting in and out of part is our new problem. In and out, in and out, in and out.... We are calling it the Yo-yo Syndrome.




These two sleepy-eyed parents are hanging in there, but are open to any suggestions from those who have already weathered this storm.

***UPDATE***
After 3 1/2 hours of pure craziness last night, we turned his whole crib around where the open part faced the wall. He was asleep within 5 minutes!
