hi sammi

with my dd she was around 18mths when we decided to put her in a bed cause #2 was on the way - she was adamant no bed just cot so we left her cot set up in her room and put the bed in there also (it was a bit of a tight squeeze) each time she went for sleep we asked what she wanted and she always wanted the cot this went on for around 2wks when she started sitting on her bed and playing with some toys, so i took her shopping and she chose a doona cover she wanted and a special big bed toy to take (it was poh from telly tubbies lol) we took it really slowly and she used to put poh in the bed and sleep in her cot lol then one day dh went into her room and started taking down her cot saying oh no the cot has broken - she was in there with him watching and then said okay i will sleep in big girls bed and that was that never looked back.

#2 i decided my ds was getting to big for the cot at age 3 1/2 yup he was quite happy to be there and didn't attempt to climb out or anything - we got him a thomas the tank bed and he was so excited to sleep in a train lol.

good luck gosh kiddies can all be different can't they - you can get some really cool novelty beds, maybe make him a big part of it and see what happens.

good luck
