Finally after 2 years of occupying a spot on mommy and daddy's bed, Wayne has grown up that bit more and progressed to sleeping on his own bed @ 2 and a half years old! And the transition was easy peasy! Yay! Well done, little boy!
For those who didnt know, Wayne was sleeping by himself in his cot since he was a lil baby.. until the day we moved to Carissa Park, and decided to let him sleep on our bed for the first few nights since it was a new place etc etc... bad move.. cos he ended up there for the next two years. And as he grew bigger over that 2 years, he occupied more and more space and his sleeping habits got from bad to worse, from sleeping vertically to horizontally across the bed and rolling from one end to another, across poor mommy who was the one between Wayne and daddy.
SO... the day we moved to Martin Place, it was the perfect opportunity to undo the wrong we did. We got a single bed for him and from the first night at our new place, we got Wayne to sleep in his own bed. Surprisingly he was all happy about having a new bed (thanks to momma who got him all excited over his bed) and got in with hardly any coaxing needed. Okay, granted that the bed is just beside our bed but from then on, Wayne just continued sleeping in his own bed, which is good enough a reason for some celebration. Hooray, finally mommy & daddy got back our king size bed space!
Its been almost 4 months now, and its already a routine for Wayne to climb into his own bed each night. But each morning around 7am, Wayne would also climb down onto our bed and find a spot beside mommy and continue sleeping. Without fail. Not ideal but well, we are happy with that compromise.
The next time we move, we'll make sure Wayne's bed is in his own room.. that'll be the next challenge, but I bet each morning he'd end up on our bed too.
