Well really all we did is remove a side from his cot, but it still feels like such a big move. We are starting to give him the independence that he is craving and making the transition from nursery to bedroom.
Tonight will be the third night of our little man sleeping in his big bed and so far it is going so well. I have put the old cot mattress on the floor covered in a blanket for when he inevitably falls out but he managed a three hour nap time staying put as well as most of the night time!
He hasn't been bothered at all about the transition and has just taken it all in his stride, as he does with most things! My baby boy is growing up so fast and watching him accept this change so easily reminds me what an amazing little dude he is.
Dream big my little one
That is such a beautiful cot and it's great that it transitions into a toddler bed so easily. We ended up caving and putting up a bed guard because Talitha was falling out of the bed EVERY night!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dylan fell out the first night but not at all last night or for his last two naps so I think we may get away without one!
DeleteMy eldest son will soon be getting evicted from his cot as baby brother will be moving in there soon. I am so unprepared I still haven't bought any safety gates yet. I'll definitely be needing those with my little adventurer being free to roam!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have safety gates, we are relying on his common sense although I am thinking it may be best to put one at the top of the stairs!
DeleteGlad he is doing so well in his big boys bed! My son rolled out of his on his first night but managed to stay asleep, we found him curled up on the carpet when we went to check on him before bed. Went to buy a bed guardian the next day!
ReplyDeleteDylan did this the first night, but has been fine for bed times and nap times since so we will see how it goes. There is a cot mattress down there anyway just in case though
DeleteAw he's growing up quick! Milo adjusted really well when I did this too. He only ever fell out 2 or 3 times and he went in to a full sized, raised single bed at age 3 and is now in a high bed. It actually became a blessing after a while as Milo started playing in the mornings in his room for a while happily meaning I could lay in bed a little longer. Of course, with Archie already, I guess you can't reap those benefits!!! All the best for the 3rd night x
ReplyDeleteAw bless him! Glad the change is going well! We are still wondering when to bite the bullet! To D! X
ReplyDeleteaw, he is growing up so fast!!!!
