I wonder if the transition for nighttimes at least might be a bit easier once Pie can talk? So in a couple of months or so, and you can make a MASSIVE deal about how awesome and fun having your own bed is
My girls didn't co-sleep, like yours they liked their own space and only wanted to sleep on me if I was moving around. But we had great success transitioning Natty to a bed (she LOVED her cot and frankly, so did I LOL!) by making such a whopping big deal about how grown up etc she was and how much fun she was going to have in a big bed. She still had the same security toys (still does now!) but we got some 'new' bedclothes (hand-me-downs but new to her) and painted it pink (at her request) so it was like an exciting new adventure. I understand it's different trying to transition from sleeping with you as opposed to just on one thing or another, but I wonder if it still works the same? On the understanding that if they wake at night they would still be able to join you, I guess.
Good luck either way
Single bed beside the bed is how I am dealing with DD who is appalling in bed!!!! It is just below the level of the big bed so she has herown space but so do I. DS1 and DD are both in the process of transitioning to their owns beds in a shared room. DD has been there 2 nights now. First night she cam to me at 5am, second night 2.30am. DS spent his first night there last night and came to me at 5am. Slowly they are moving from full time co-sleeping to their own space. But it has been a really rough year for them and I am in no rush to move them out.
