How old is a child when they usually start sleeping in a toddler bed?

What has your toddler done recently to give you that warm feeling inside?

I need suggestions on how to cope with having a toddler and a newborn at home. I plan to work at home after the baby is born in July. I’m worried about how I’m going to do it. My relatives just tell me, "Oh you’ll figure out a way." That is of no help. I was thinking of keeping my 3 yr old in daycare but it’s expensive with the cost of gas these days. I really need some suggestions here. Thanks ladies.
