Well, the Elmo bed arrived on Friday and a friend put it together today since husband and I are idiots with tools! :hammer:
Sammy was so excited to get this bed. He picked it out himself! We thought that he would be excited until it was together and then freak out. Thankfully we were wrong. He pretended to sleep on the pillow and be covered in his blanket over and over. Then came nap time and he really wanted to give it a good try. :bravo:
I was listening on the monitor (he sleeps upstairs and we are downstairs) and he was talking and bouncing and then it got quiet so I thought wow! he did it. Then I heard some musical something. I go into his room and there Sammy is walking around with his hands in his pockets playing with toys. He decided he wanted to nap in his crib. Later on he played in his bed and explored and said he wanted to go to sleep in his bed. Bedtime: went through the normal routine and then he decided he wanted his crib. I had to go in his room to turn his air purifier on and he then decided to go in his bed. He lies down on his back I cover him up kiss him goodnight and close the door. I guess I should point out that we had told him he has to stay in the bed until mommy and daddy come in to get him. He is pretty quiet for 10 minutes and then we hear him whimpering what we think is "crib" so we go upstairs thinking he will be sitting up or out of the bed. There Sammy is in the exact same position I left him in. The poor kid was afraid to move! :rofl: Baby steps! He will get there eventually! This is only day 1
