Toddler bed mistep?

We recently dropped Charlie's bed down to the lowest level and thought "why don't we just convert it to the toddler bed setting so he can get used to it?" Like most great ideas, it was better in theory. 

In his crib, Charlie would sleep the whole night; now it seems like everytime he turns over he gets up and can't go back to sleep. He'll get out of bed and go to the door crying or otherwise wander his room.  Plus, he moves around a lot in his sleep and he's fallen off the bed a bunch. 

We're thinking of giving him a week to adjust to the change, monitoring him via the baby camera, and try to help him get acclimated. After a week if things don't start moving in the right direction, then we'll put it back together as a crib.

Although seeing Charlie climb into his bed and hug his bear and pantomime laying down for bed is so sweet, I could totally put up with his night moves.
