Jackson’s first nap in his big boy room went better than I thought it would. At first he was super excited getting it all ready. He wanted the bed totally stripped down and threw off the comforter, sheets and pillows. Then we brought in his old blankets, the sound machine, the monitor and the humidifier from his old room.
He did start delaying with “let’s do this” or “let’s do that,” and we ended up doing story time on the chair in his old room so I thought for sure he’d end up back in the crib.
But after the book I just asked him which bed he wanted to sleep in and he said his big boy bed, and it went pretty smoothly from there. Initially he did get up out of his bed saying he wanted dinner, but then he asked me, “Are you going to go downstairs?”
“Yep, I’m going to go downstairs and you and Lamb are going to take a nap here in your big boy bed,” I told him.
“And I will wait for the beep, and when it beeps it’s time to get up,” he responded.
I have no idea where that came from, but yes — sounds good to me!
