All my friends, locally and internationally, with 2 year olds, have graduated into toddler beds or big girl/boy beds in their own respective rooms. Which leaves Tee, the only two year old I know, the last of the group *sob*, to achieve this very significant (to us) milestone.Tee is not even remotely close to taking this big step into the dark side independence. Thus it will be awhile still before she accomplishes the gruelling feat of letting go of Mummy’s bed. Just so you know, the Hubs has demoted himself to sleeping on the floor, by choice, since nightly kungfu kicks by powerful female legs no longer appealed to him.

We tried hyping the move into her own bedroom; the cool bed, the amazing sheets, the cutest pillows, the fun curtains, the starry ceiling, the colourful wall stickers, the playful night light but no. While she fully appreciated our efforts, she still wanted to sleep in Mummy’s bed.

We tried camping in Mummy and Daddy’s bedroom! We brought in a tent so she could sleep in her tent while Mummy and Daddy slept on OUR bed. She had so much fun camping but still, any fool would’ve chosen Mummy and Daddy’s warm, comfy bed to a polyester Winnie the Pooh tent. So THAT didn’t work.

We showed her how good, clever and brave all her friends were, sleeping in their OWN special beds in their own marvelous rooms. She totally acknowledged her friends being good, clever and brave…… but I swear at the back of her mind, she was probably sniggering, “HAH!! Big suckers!!”.

We let her ‘cry it out’ and she screamed till the crystals in our home began to tremble. And it went on for a whole 3 hours. Then we got a call from the neighbour, “STOP TORTURING YOUR CHILD!!!!”

In the meantime, I’ve started having recurring nightmares of me sharing her dorm bed at college and worse, helping her wipe her butt in those communal dorm toilets.

I am a little frightened, to say the least.

Don’t let this fool you. She only slept in her toddler bed for an hour.
