But....he's my baby

I never thought when my son was 28 months I would be having this problem. I thought that at his 2nd birthday, it would be a simple transition. 2nd birthday means big boy beds right?


WRONG! A few days ago I just posted these gems on Instagram (ryansmumma)

Crib sheets! Not sheets for big boy bed, because if I am being honest, the kid has NO interest. He LOVES his crib. Doesn't fuss when it's nap time or bed time, he's always been a great sleeper. He snuggles into his crib and doesn't try climbing out.


People have asked how the boy does in his bed, and when I tell them he is still in a crib, the response I always hear is "Don't ruin a good thing", "If he isn't trying to climb out, then just leave him alone" or my favorite "Don't put him in a bed, you''ll regret it".

I know that my kid is a creature of habit. Part my fault, but most is partly because kids thrive on routine. My kid lives and dies by it.

I feel like if we don't make the jump and change to a big boy bed, my son will be sleeping in a crib when he goes to college and on the next episode of TLC'S My Strange Addiction.



We asked last night if he wanted to go and pick out a big boy bed. His reply? "No thanks". Can't argue with good manners I guess.

Any tips on how to transition without making him hate bedtime?
