Well decision has been made...

We bought Cam's 1st bed today. And typical to me/us , we ended up going back to the 1st one we had seen....a themed 'Happy Train' single bed. We looked at all the bed shops around the Gold Coast, and we really wanted something low to the ground and it seemed the only ones that we could find were those themed beds. After doing the rounds we ended up back at the 1st shop we'd looked at and thought if Cam goes and hops up onto the bed again like he did last time and lays down then we consider that a sign...and that is exactly what he did as soon as we walked into the shop - he wandered from the front door, past all the other beds and straight onto the Train bed.

We figured Cam will get about 3 -4years use out of it, then DS#2 can have it, so at that point we will look at buying Cam a bunk bed - when he is old enough to sleep up top more then likely - as we will probably get one of those study type bunks or ones with draws or something, cause our rooms ain't that big and need to make the most of storage ideas. So it just seemed pointless for now for him to have a bunk bed where the top would not be used for at least 3-4 years.

So now let the fun begin of trying to get Cam to sleep in it. We will probably get it ready in his room (as well as keep the cot in there too, which will be a little bit of a tight squeeze, but hoping it won't be for too long ) so I can try to get him to have his day sleeps in it to begin with, then go from there, at least we have about 3.5months to encourage it (then go to plan B when DS#2 arrives if need be). Will let ya's know how it all goes if you like.

Thanks again for all your advise...it has helped alot.
