We spent 4 hours at Ikea picking out new furniture. Thank goodness Kyle was at his Grandma's house. I don't think he could have handled 4 hours in that store! I found the perfect bedding on sale at Target. It is Green, Blue, and Orange Jungle Safari Animals! Kyle loves animals. Especially elephants and monkeys!
We don't even need to paint the room since the walls are green and match the decor! Yeah! That saves time and money.
We are not finished with the room yet, but we got the bed set up. I am happy with the way it looks!
Kyle likes his new bed. But....the 1st night he tried to sleep in it did not go too well.
It was a hot May evening. I put him in bed at 7:40 and he did not fall asleep quickly like he normally does. Was it too hot in his room? probably. Was he a bit nervous to be in a different bed in a different room? probably.
So...I had to go in a few times to "help" him. By 8:40 he told me he wanted to go to his crib. So I agreed and put him in his crib.
He has not wanted to try to sleep in his new bed the past 3 days. He told me that the new bed could be for the baby. He wants to keep his crib.
So....I figure I have 4 more months to try and convince him that his new room is cool and fun and hopefully he will agree to sleep in there one of these days.
Did any of you other moms have similar experiences getting your child to sleep in a big boy/girl bed? Any tips?

Cool new bed, Kyle!
You are such a BIG BOY!

Tyler moved into a big bed at 15 months b/c he figured out how to climb out of it -- which wasn't safe. We completely removed the crib and just put in the toddler bed. We found him asleep on the floor and in his rocking chair several times before he got the hang of sleeping in the bed. Hope that helps! :)
