Jeriel in his own room

We planned to move Jeriel to another room when he is at least 2 years old. We started a long term plan (wah sounds like big project).

At least he will be comfortable in his own room before we plan for the second one. Our master bedroom is too small and we don't want him to feel rejected if we start to train him only when the second one is on the way.

Jeriel actually was hinting PaPa and Mummy that he needed a bigger bed. He would roll on the adult single bed in IKEA and telling us,

"Big bed, big bed."

Then, we would take the opportunity to say,

"Big bed cannot fit in Papa and Mummy's room."

Back at apartment, we would let him know that the other room is his room.

After that, we went shopping for bedsheet. When we found something which we can afford, we let him choose the colour. He was so happy when we set-up his single bed with the new Bugs Bunny bedsheet. We bought a few 'colour boxes' and Papa set-up bookshelves in Jeriel's room. PaPa also put a small light in Jeriel's room. Besides that, another mattress was put on the floor next to Jeriel's bed with two purposes:

One – in case Jeriel fall from bed
Two – during transition and while waiting for our baby monitor to be purchased, we will take turn to sleep because sometimes he still ask for milk after 12 midnight.

On the first day, Jeriel actually went to Papa & Mummy's room to drink his milk and sleep on his toddler bed. We had to remind him. After that, he would automatically go to his room. Now, if anyone ask him, whose bed is this (pointing the cot+toddler bed).

Jeriel will say,

"Baby's bed. Boy boy bed is there." (pointing to another room)

Last Friday night onward, Jeriel slept throughout the night alone in the room without PaPa or Mummy sleeping with him. He would wake up and find PaPa or Mummy by himself without crying. When he wanted his milk, he would either call us or walked to the master bedroom to ask for milk.
