New Bed

Last week, Oliver decided that he wanted to climb into his crib and he did. We were planning to get him into a new bed before the new baby comes, but hadn't really thought about exactly when we would do it. So this made us take that step. We got Oliver a new bed on Saturday and put it together that evening. Oliver "helped" us. He was all right until we tried putting the slats in for the support, he thought it was funny to slide those around while we were trying to position them. Needless to say, at that point, he watched a movie and Eric and I finished putting it together.

Oliver was going "night-night" in his bed right after we got it put together and put the mattress in it. He seems to like it. I think he especially likes having a pillow.

Oliver was pretty excited to come in his room and see his new bed with the sheets on it. He kept pointing to the car and saying "mooo"- which means movie. Cars is pretty much his favorite movie.

Today at naptime, when Oliver fell asleep, this is how he was. He slept this way for his whole nap.


Switching to a toddler bed has gone pretty well so far. He seems to be sleeping fine in it, but falling asleep still takes a little work. Naps are a bit harder than bedtime, but I'm sure before long he'll have the hang of both without any problems.

We still have the crib set up in the room, but haven't got a second mattress yet. We're hoping he doesn't try climbing in it at all and we can just leave it up and it will be boring by the time the new baby gets here and they will share a room with no problems. For right now, Oliver gets his own room and seems to be enjoying his new bed.
