Transitioning to big boy room

Transitioning from mom bed to big boy bed.

These last couple of weeks have been a challenge trying to get AJ to sleep in his own bed. He'd rather sleep on the floor in my room than get in his more comfortable bed. A few weeks ago I started preparing him for his own room, cleaning and painting, new beds and decor. He was so excited about his big boy room until it was time to go to bed.

He came up with all kinds of excuses, from he didn't like the sheets, to he was afraid of heights lol. This boy is clever, every night I'd say Aj are you sleeping in your room tonight, and He'd said "give me a few more weeks" 🤦🏾‍♀️

I've even tried waiting until he falls asleep and then putting him in bed, but then he'll get up screaming in the middle of the night. I know he's afraid to sleep alone in the dark, and watching scary movies with his sisters don't help. We've put in night lights but thats not working either. I've even let him watch TV until he falls asleep, but some how he ends up right back in my room. I've legit run out of ideas to make him comfortable and less afraid.

What are some tips and tricks you all use to put your little ones to bed and keep them there?!.

What age did your babies stop sleeping with you?
