crib) so we made sure it was fun and playful and gave him that option, we also set up a separate cot beside out bed, so he could be
with us still (I was not comfortable being pregnant
with a toddler and hubby in bed then, knowing I would have a baby soon) since I was pregnant I was able to talk about it to him and explain why he was going to have to one day move to his own bed (in our room or his) by the time I had the baby he was starting the nights in his own bed and if he woke up he would come into his cot beside our bed...
