In this article, we were thinking about putting Bobo in his own big boy bed. Three weeks later, this has been better than we thought. As usual with change, the first few days are the worst. The most difficult part was getting him down for his naps. The first four days I couldn't get him to stay down for a nap at all. On the fifth day I tried for several hours of back and forth. Putting him back in his bed, reading another story, and leaving. Eventually he did go to sleep, and he has slept better and better every day since. It is possible that he was too old for naps and the new bed would mark the transition, but that turned out not to be the case, thankfully. The best way so far, to get him to go to sleep is to lay down next to him in his bed after reading a book, then tell him a story from memory, and then sing a song. He usually goes to sleep after a few minutes now. If I just put him down and leave after the song, he'll get right back up.
