Toddler Bed

Since Friday the 16Th of Jan, Brendan has been sleeping in a toddler bed.

My expectations were that we’d have to keep putting him back in it, that he’d cry and whinge and basically not go to sleep.

BUT… I have had NONE of that! Except the very first night, but that was because he hadn’t seen his dad for a few days….

So Anyway this is our bedtime routine…

I tell him to find his rag and dummy (can usually find the rag, but not the dummy)
I tell him its time to go to bed, and he follows me into his room
He goes straight to the dresser and motions for the dummy (unless he already has one)
Then he goes and lays down in his bed while I turn the night light on.
Then I kiss him goodnight and say “ni-nis”
And close the door.
Most mornings he wakes around 6:30-7am and comes into our room.

I cant believe how easy it has been, it has been easier to put him to sleep in his bed than his cot. I think the main reason for that is because he knows he can get out of the bed when he wants to.
