Big girl bed for my littlest

[laymon]

*cries*

I don't know what possessed me to change her cot into a bed. I guess I was bored :\

I actually really hate this as a bed because the mattress slides freely off the base. Highly annoying. So why on earth did I change it?

Actually part of it is because I want to be able to read her a story before bed. That task is impossible when she's in a cot. 





She's going up for a nap now, so I guess I'll find out if she'll mess about. Better to find out now, than at proper bedtime.

Can you nail a bit of wood along the side to prevent the mattress sliding off? Just a thin bit. Or even 2 small bits at either end, by the corners.

She looks so much like Rheya in that photo!

I found the cot really uncomfortable for putting Elizabeth to sleep. Especially trying to squeeze my arms through just to be able to pat her.

Is there something you can make to tie the mattress down?

Not that I can think of.

I was actually ok with her being in a cot (never needed to pat her at bedtime), which is why it's weird that I got this urge to change it :\

The only thing that we couldn't do was read a story in bed. I would read it to her in Rheya's bed, then she'd have to walk into her own bedroom afterwards.

She went down perfectly. I don't know why I'm surprised, she's a good little sleeper.

She was a bit confused that I wanted her to lie down in bed for her story. I think she thought I'd forgotten about her story and was protesting at being laid down. She settled as soon as she saw I had her book.

She's been down 1.5hr so I think it's safe to say shes ok with a bed ;)
