Few months ago a church friend of us passed us a toddler bed for Esrene after knowing that we are expecting the 2nd child. We are so blessed with all these blessing given to us even before we think about it.
We know that once she sleeps on the toddler bed she can get down from the bed easily and mess up with the things in her bed. So we started to put on all the safety locks on her wardrobe and cabinet drawings, moved out the changing table to baby room to avoid her from messy up with anything she is not suppose to touch or play with.
Daddy even made a garden bed in front of Esrene’s window and plant some nice flowers on it so that she can enjoy looking at the flowers from her room. Esrene loves it, she kept shouting “hua hua” (Mandarin for flowers) whenever she saw the flowers from the window.
Our friend advice us to transit Esrene to her toddler bed few months earlier for her to get used to it before the little sibling comes. So we took the opportunity to change her baby cot to toddler bed on the day when we came back from Malaysia. We were told not to make a “hoo-haa” of the new bed so that she won’t get too excited and can’t sleep on the bed. Of course she noticed the different, keep climbing up and down the bed since she can do it now easily. But this only last for few days.
She is doing very well sleeping on her toddler bed except for the first night she came down from the bed, laid down next to the door and cried for us. She fell off from her bed once also from the gap (even we try to put the bumper on it but it doesn’t seems to help). But after that she sort of learn the lesson and sleep closer to the wall, never to fall off from the bed anymore. Now after she wakes up from her sleep or nap she will take off her sleeping bag herself, walk around the room a while or play with her toys a while before she goes to the door and knock on it to call for us. Daddy taught her well to knock the door each time if she wants to open the door :D
We are very proud of her able to be able to adopt to the new bed so easily. Maybe her new toddler bed make her feels that she is a big girl now. Now then we can to get ready her previous baby cot for her sibling.
