Happy bed

I've been trying for ages to get my little Bear to be happy while awake in his crib. Until yesterday, we had no success. What we had was crying if he woke up even for a minute during his nap and NEVER waking up happy. Squish used to play in his bed for 20-30 mins after his nap. He didn't want to get out! This is not the case with my little man. I have tried making the room brighter, I've tried making the room darker. He has "special friends" that I have worked to help him form bonds with...no dice. So today, after his nap, he played in his bed for 15 solid minutes. What was the golden ticket, you ask.....



I stuck his brother in there.


It totally worked.

Elizabeth didn't like her crib for the longest time. She's better now though, but it took a long time.

LOVE the excitement in the second picture. Both our girls liked their cribs... until I ruined it with this toddler bed madness, of course.

Danifred...I need to send you a picture of what we did to Squish's toddler bed. I will get on that when I get home, it's still got "big boy bed" novelty but it has high rails all the way around so he can't get out (in theory...he has learned to climb)
