New Bed

We bought Reagan a toddler bed a few months ago. We decided that it would be best to wait until after Christmas to set up his bed. We wanted to make sure that he would still sleep in his pack in play while we were visiting family. It took awhile to get Reagan back into a good routine after Christmas. We finally decided that last weekend was the perfect time to set up the new bed. Reagan even got to help his dad put the bed together. (It may not have been to helpful but Reagan sure tried hard to help.) Reagan has been so excited about his new bed. We put the new bed in a new room for Reagan. That way we don't have to take down the crib and the new baby's room is ready to go. Reagan enjoys playing in his new room and on his new bed. He will just walk into the room look around and start laughing. His room makes him so happy. On Friday we had some friend over at our house. He had to show everyone his new bed. With as excited as he is about his new bed you would think that he would want to sleep in his bed. That is not the case. He likes to pretend to sleep in the bed along with jumping and playing on it. Abe has tried to put Reagan in his bed the last couple of nights. Every time Abe lays Reagan down he looks up at Abe and says "No, No, Daddy! My bed." So Abe puts him in the crib. We don't really want to force him to sleep in his bed. We still have time to kick him out of the crib before the baby comes. We just have to figure out the best way to convince him that his big boy bed is ok to sleep in.
