Posted January 16, 200916 yr This arvo I dismantled the cot that my two year old is very attached to (it's convertible so he uses it as a toddler bed without one side on it) and moved the single bed into hs room for him. He's NOT impressed. I was trying to get hm excited about having the big bed so I did the whole 'happy voice thing' "Do you want to sleep in a big bed and be a big boy Maxy?". His response while gripping tightly to his dismantled cot "Nooo, moi bed" Hmmm might be interesting getting him to bed tonight I figure though that given how attached he is to it, it's better to move it out now so that by the 'someone else' needs to use it he'll be well and truly over it...
January 16, 200916 yr LOL my sister did the same thing with Noah when he was 2. He refused to sleep in it instead slept with mum & dad. Don't know if he still does, he's 4 and a half now.
January 16, 200916 yr not looking forward to telling taumei that his baby brother/sister is going to get his cot...
January 16, 200916 yr Author Yeah that's it JB, I figured if I broke thenews now that it was no longer his cot we shouldn't have any arguments in 8 months time!
January 16, 200916 yr When my daughter got her first bed.........many many moons ago ......................we took the side of her cot and tied or attached it to her new bed at the head end going along the side of the bed. So she felt the security of her previous cot but was in a big bed. She would crawl to the end of the bed where she could get out the gap that is left. After a few short weeks we removed the railing. Worked for us
January 16, 200916 yr Author He hasn't had a railing for a while now as it's one that you can take the sides off to turn it into a mini regular bed so it's only really the size that's changed and there ain't much you can do to hide that I must say I was very impressed with him tonight, had to growl at him twice for coming out of his room(a normal occurance anyway) but after that he hopped into bed and lay quietly and 'chatted' to his stuffed bunny and then went to sleep
January 16, 200916 yr we had the covert to crib to bed those are awesome and didn't have a problem with the transition in that terms just staying in bed was the issue at that point.
