    OK, so we will do all the morning and bedtime stuff in his room from now on,
    We pick up our sofa on Monday so we'll move our temporary lounge into the actual lounge room
    and put his mattress in his room until we get his bed.
    Set it up the night we get it - after he's gone to bed - and he can check it out in the morning and play with it a bit.

    The only concern I have with this is that he'll get used to sleeping on the floor in his room and when he gets his big bed he will forget he's not on the floor anymore because the room looks the same. Am I being silly?

    We're pretty stoked with the bed too, cant wait to get it!!

    Thanks everyone for your help. It seems like a silly question now that I've posted it but it was really playing on my mind

    If it helps any, Liebling has a similar bed. Cabin beds with things that swing out are the coolest, you are a rockin' mama for getting your child that. (Yes, I have my childhood wish fulfilment via my son.) He had a sleepover in it with a friend. Both boys are wigglers. Although Liebs ended up in the spare bed (at his request) to get some sleep, neither fell out. It is hard to get out of it without climbing over the rail, so to remember to do that means you have to remember there's a rail - and that usually promps that you're high up. I find it better than a normal single bed when I crawl in with Liebs some nights as he can't push me out of bed, I end up waking up on the side rail but not having fallen onto the floor.

    I go with the others, have fun with the bed and in his room and ask where he wants to sleep.

    Thanks TFB, I will have to climb in with him as he's still breastfed to sleep, so that's great to know!
