It was a little earlier than we could have ever anticipated,
but Spud has by now been successfully transitioned into a toddler’s bed – to
our delight, without much of a fuss or hassle.
We did not buy her any new bed; we just converted her old
cot bed into a toddler’s bed and bought guard rails for the converted bed. To
make the transition easier for Spud, we also made sure that she was involved in
the actual process of transforming her cot bed into her little big bed.
Even though she was at first apprehensive when she saw her
transformed bed, it did not take her long to get used to the idea. In fact, Spud
was really excited about the fact that she can now climb in and out of her bed
on her own.
My heart beamed at how seamless it was to transition her
along. It felt like it was such a big thing and I feel so proud of Spud. When we snuck in several hours later, I cannot
help but snap a picture of her in her new bed…
Spud sleeps in funny positions, and she travels in her bed. Looking at her whilst she sleeps makes me a little
emotional. It marked one of the last
journeys of her being a baby as she moves on to the next phase. While in that
state of mind, I was being reminded by what I read a while back - a quote written
by a journalist, Jonathan Sale:
“When a child climbs to the next rung on life’s ladder it
means the previous rung is no longer going to be trodden on."
This was just one of our firsts of the many last journeys.
