Brody moved into his big boy room in early November. He has a red bed, a quilt he chose, and a dump truck on the wall. It's a pretty cool room. He had a very easy transition. We'd tried him out in big boy beds on a couple of vacations and he seemed ready. He knew to stay put and didn't wander at night. He went to the cabin with Jacob and Paw Paw one weekend while Logan and I worked hard on his room. Well, Logan laid in the middle of the room as I worked very hard. :) When Brody came home we unveiled his new room and he started sleeping in it immediately.
He was so proud of his room and liked to show it off to everyone that came by. He pointed out the dump truck that I painted, the picture from Mamie, the cross stitch from Katie (K to the T), and then jumped on the bed for everyone to see.
A couple of weeks passed and Brody discovered something... he didn't have to stay in bed. Suddenly we have a wanderer. He has come into our room a few nights in the middle of the night and just whispers to himself. We get up, send him back, and go back to bed. He's also started a trend of getting out of bed around 10pm and laying down on the floor in the hall outside our door. He was almost stepped on by both of us on different occasions.
Now, he's not napping. He has toys in his room, so when we put him down for a nap, he considers it playtime. We let 2-3 hours pass, then let him come out. He's not napping, but he's not overly grumpy either. As long as we continue to get our quiet time, I'm ok with him not napping.
