A Big Bed At Last

Comment Published at 16:4916:4924 comments24 comments34 Visits34 VisitsReport
This post is from from my other blog here

You know your babies are growing up when they leave their cot behind in favour of a big bed.

Acacia, who is 2, has just spent the first night out of her cot and in a proper bed.  No dramas at all, she slept through the night.

She was so excited when she saw that Les had put her new bed together, and even more so when she saw the quilt she has!  Lots of pretty colours!

Yes, my 4th baby is definitely a big girl now.  But she looks tiny in her new bed.

I wish potty training was as easy.  Oh well, ...

Re: A Big Bed At Last

Well done Acacia! Soph's cot finally got put away last week - more room to play! But both beds have been available since December, and she gradually chose to sleep more and more in the bed. Only once I mentioned the cot would go away soon she chose to sleep in it for the firs ttime in 2 months, just one last time. Actually it isn't "away", just flat against the wall! So much more room to play now - it's great!

Good luck with the potty. We are in the middle of that now. She managed to have an accident between the chair and the toybox today (ie access difficult, especially with a headache) while I was getting to a critical part of cake making with DD1. Kids, eh?! I never run so fast as when I'm potty training a daughter and hear the words wee, poo, accident or uhoh MUMMY!

We put Acacia's cot in Ayla's bedroom. The plan being that is where Aralia will sleep during the day so the girls can play outside and not disturb her (Ayla's room is at the front of the house), but guess who doesn't like that idea? LOL.  Neither Aralia or Acacia of course. Yes, got to have that last 'fling' LOL.

Isn't it funny how we want to hear 'mummy' so desperately when they are babies, and then it turns around to bite us on the bum? LOL.  We are hoping to have both Laurel and Acacia out of nappies by Christmas- yeah, we are slow on that side of things, but if Ayla and Willow are anything to go by, they will be out of nappies virtually overnight!

Ahhh, not a baby any more!  It is something to see them in their first big bed, glad she was ready and had a good sleep.

A huge step!  She's been napping on the couch during the day for about a year now, so it was about time we got our acts together and ditched the cot! LOL

Bed?  I think I found mine just as the sun was coming up! LOL.  I cheated with this post, wrote it hours before it was published and set the publish time.  I love being able to do that! LOL

And Acacia is loving her new bed!!!!  No hassles, no complaints, though she did cry when we took the cot out! LOL.

PMSL.  Ok, confession...I was writing this post while we were chatting last night.  It was done by midnight, and set to publish at about 9am.

The benefits of having ones site is that you can set the time for publishing! LOL.  In other words, I'm a cheat!

I got 2 hours sleep and I can see myself falling asleep at the keyboard once the kids are in bed.

rofl!  I might as well have had only 2 hours, because I don't sleep well during the day, and I still had to feed Puggle!  She's a wriggler in bed LOL

PMSL.  Either way, he could be called a Rag! LOL.

Yeah yeah, I'm nuts.  Les and I have a game where we take parts of 2 words and put them together.  Makes for some interesting conversations!
