toddler bed transition

[thecatinthehat]

Omg we were totally doing it wrong. Because I was so scared of leaving him to wander in his room alone (our camera does not capture the entire room), I have been sleeping on the floor for TWO WEEKS and quietly leaving when he falls asleep. Some nights it would take him upto 1.5 hr to finally fall asleep. Many nights I fall asleep while waiting only to wake up at 1am and be up for 1-2 hrs before finally falling back asleep in my own bed.

After our weekend trip where we co-slept, we finally stopped staying in the room and it has surprisingly been easy except for the first night. Tonight I had to go in once because he turned the lights on. 

ETA: And I totally fell of the wagon with exercise because I was doing bedtime due to DH's busy schedule lately.

Did you baby proof the room? What are you concerned about?

Largely baby proofed. I'm worried he will reach behind the bookcase for wires to the camera and sound machine. Or climb the bookcase. Or the bookcase would fall on him (it is anchored to the wall). I admit I am naturally anxious.
