Firsts–First time sleeping without sides on the cot.

My little boys are growing up and turning into big boys Sad smile

2 days ago we took the sides off their cots. They are now 2.5yrs old and we figure they are ready to sleep in a toddler bed. They have coped extremely well. Nap times are a disaster, but that’s normal for nap time. They hardly nap anymore, we are lucky to get 1-2 naps a week. Night time has been excellent for 2 nights. They get into bed independently and fall asleep like normal without too much fuss. We are pleased at how well they have made the transition, and hope our luck continues!

Poor little Benny as fallen out 3 times. Twice while goofing around and not sleeping at nap time on the first day, and once in the early hours of this morning while half asleep. We haven’t put up those bed sides I know the local baby shop sells, we want to give him a chance to get used to it. As you can see in the pictures below, there is a small rail to stop him rolling too much, so I hope he will get used to this soon. He is low to the ground, and doesn’t hurt him self if he falls out, just a fright – poor baby

We have moved both cots onto the far wall, and this has really opened up their small room and given it more space. We are planning to decorate it with a jungle/animal type theme soon (as you can see in the first picture, we already have the rug in place). Stay tuned for pictures when it’s finished.
