Boy Boy = Big Bed

19 Sept. The day after Jovann turns 2.

This day marks a transition. We are moving him to a single mattress, to be put on the floor beside our bed, in place of his cot. His cot will be used by his mei mei. We prepared him by telling him the night before that he is a big boy already, have to say bye bye to old bed, that tomorrow he will sleep in new big boy bed. Not sure if he understands, but he nodded and grunted. :P

The next day, Daddy bought the 4inch thick foam mattress and brought it home, together with the bedrail from Isetan. IKEA also delivered their new wardrobe the same day, and Daddy spent the afternoon at home tidying up the place and fixing the bed rail onto the single mattress, laying a protective cardboard underneath to protect our paraquet flooring.

Then when on the way back home, I told Jovann that he will be able to see his new bed later. When we entered the house, I brought him to say bye bye to his old cot,which is now residing in his real room beside the new wardrobe. Also showed him the new wardrobe, telling him the top rail will be for gor gor's clothes and the bottom rail for mei mei's clothes. He seemed to understand as 10mins later after his bath, he ran to the wardrobe, banged the doors opened, and said "Jovann's clothes, meimei's clothes!"

He seemed to like his new bed a lot.....he kept bouncing on it....walking on it,and at one point of time said "sleep sleep", and pretended to sleep. hehee...

This is of him playing around on it before bath. Thanks to Malcolm's mommy's advice, I have taken out a set of cute giraffe bedsheets, intending to get him excited putting it on.






After bath, put the bedsheets on. Jovann kept wanting to drink his milk immediately on it, but we asked him to slow down, and helped us put on the bedsheets.

Snug and happy.....




He fell asleep after brushing teeth, though he took about 5-10mins longer than usual to fall asleep. He was moving on the bed too much, trying to get into comfy position... :P

Tonight will be the test....I am crossing my fingers and toes....
