Cot to bed

The easiest way we found in getting miss3.7 into her own bed from the cot was to let her get the feel of our bed first. We would let her play on our bed, sit with us on our bed etc etc. When we thought she was comfortable and didn't look so scarey in her face expressions, we went out and bought her a bed, and put it up the same day. We made sure she was with us when we bought the bed, and made quite sure she was with us while putting her bed together. Miss3.7 also helped us pick out the bed and put it together. She thouroughly enjoyed her self.

We were a bit sceptical when sleep time came at night time, but i put her to bed like normal, and she was fine about it. At various stages of us putting the bed together though, we were praising her and letting her know " wow, this is your very own bed " and ' wow, aren't you a big girl now. You've got your own bed. ' It worked like a dream. She's never looked back now on the cot, and we are both very proud on how she took to the bed very easily.
