Ian's Big Boy Room

April 16, 2017  •  Leave a Comment

I feel like I've been working on his new room for so long, but last week we finally moved him into the big room (which also has the connected bathroom). I tried making the room as exciting for him as possible, to help with the transition. He was so excited about it! I even made him a teepee, we took a video of us showing it to him for the first time...

Overall, the transition went ok. Night 1 was great, he went right to sleep and was so excited. Day 2 he refused to nap, which is SO unlike him. Even when we travel, he takes his naps easily. He was clinging to me for dear life so I let him nap on me that day. Night time on Day 2 was equally rough. He didn't want us to leave the room, which resulted in us sitting in his room, and me laying on the floor till 9:20 and when I tried sneaking out he STILL cried for me. I finally just told him I'd be right back, which seemed to comfort him and he finally fell asleep on his own. Day 3 went slightly better, I continued to say I'd "be right back", which has now morphed into "I'll come back to check on you". From there it has progressively gotten better, he still fights naps a bit, but at least has stop crying to "snuggle on couch" instead. I think by next week we'll be back to normal. I'm glad this transition is done, and I can start getting the baby room ready - I need to get those newborn clothes out!!

I still need to hang everything on the walls, when I do I'll try to post pictures of his new room. But for now, here is the video -
