It has taken us a long time to work up the courage to move J from his old cot to a proper bed. He has been happy in the cot and generally chooses to sleep in a ball or across it in such a way that size has not been an issue. He had a good few inches before he was touching both ends. One thing that did keep growing however was MK's tummy. She could no longer reach down and put J in or take him out of the cot.
I got duped into buying a varnished pine bed from the mighty Ikea and then having to paint it twice so that it matched something. I am not sure what it was supposed to match as there is not really anything white in the room whilst the floor is pine, but that is another issue (meaning argument in consultant-eese).
Anyway the bed was completed last weekend and J was immediately taken with the fact that he can climb onto it himself and have a good bounce around and jump down onto the floor. So far even the sleeping has been no worse than usual. This means that most nights MK (or very very rarely me) has to go in and see him most nights but thankfully he is staying put even when he wants some attention. The next steps are:
- Learn to sleep through the night
- Sleep later in the mornings
- Learn to get up quietly and play or watch Fireman Sam or whatever on his own...
