First night in a big boy bed


Benjy had his first night in a big bed earlier this week. He loved everything about it - helping Eddie turn the cot into a cot bed, and then we set up his new room and brought him upstairs to show him it and he was so excited, running around the room, jumping into bed and lying down, jumping out of bed to play in his new room again, he was so funny. When it came to bed time he was still happy to get into his bed and was so good, laid in it playing for the 45 minutes or so it took him to get to sleep, and in the morning did the same for nearly the whole hour between him calling me, and between us telling him it was morning and time to get up. In fact we had to coax him out of bed, he was in no hurry to get out. It has been amazing watching how happy both the new bed and the new bedroom (which has a lot more space for playing in than the old one, perhaps four or five times as much) have made him. The two photos, of the cot-to-bed transformation and when he first jumped in to try his bed, were just taken on our phones so aren't great quality. I will try to get a picture of him actually sleeping in the new bed as soon as I dare!
