Last night we made the big move of putting Owen in his big boy bed. We've been prepping him for a little bit by purchasing a mattress and having him play in his new room and go on his bed. I think he was a bit confused because even though we did his same routine, it was in a different room and there wasn't a chair or crib. Instead of reading in his rocking chair, I read to him on his bed. When storytime was over, I turned off the light and crawled into bed with him. We laid there for a bit and I talked to him about his new room and then said good night. We heard him playing and talking for about an hour, then he began to cry. Dave went up and laid with him for about five minutes and then we heard nothing more. He was still sleeping when we went in this morning, so I've attached that picture.
We were originally going to have him sleep in his bed at night and his crib for naps, but he did such a good job that we decided to try nap time in his bed today. We heard him for about 45 minutes talking and playing and then he went to sleep. Tonight we heard him for about 30 minutes. We really can't believe how smooth a transition it has been, but when he ran to his bed after brushing his teeth we saw that as a sign that he liked his bed.
