As I sit on the floor with you and gaze around, I imagine what you see through your little eyes. This is your bedroom, your sanctuary.  What is important to you in this space that is yours? Well, what do you see?

Let’s start on the floor. Loving me from the ground up, you provide me a luxurious place to sit and play or read books on this beautiful rug. The DwellStudio Dahlia Rug is a stylish and fun addition to any room. Comfy and cool, this finely made wool carpet in a variety of pink and chocolate hues, adds a unique touch to your decor. The Dahlia rug is designed to coordinate with the Dwell Studio bedding and crib collections or it works with many other designs!

Since we are on the floor already, let’s crawl on over to the bookshelf to pick out a book to read. The Floral Swag Bookcase by Sweet Beginnings features the French Country embossed carving appliques floral design. This bookcase is designed to be extra sturdy with deep shelves that hold just about every size of book that your child might imagine and still have room for future favorites. Most bookcases have many colors to choose from, so that you can truly customize the piece to match any child’s room or decor. The bookcases top and bottom styles can be customized as well. Perfect for boys and girls, the bookcase works well with other pieces in the Sweet Beginnings collection or by itself!

With book in hand looking around, where do we go to read? Well the bed is an option, as the mattress is delightfully comfortable. My favorite chair is the one right in the corner though. The Serena & Lily Hayes glider in light pink basketweave and white twill piping is a beautiful choice for your little girl’s nursery. This glider is very comfortable and built to last with a reinforced wood frame, double-wrapped foam-core cushions and a swivel glider base. A higher back and rounded armrests make Hayes glider ideal for dads; the more generous size makes for years of snuggling up for bedtime stories as little ones grow. Made in the USA with durable wood frames, swivel glider bases and plush double-wrapped foam-core cushions for ultimate comfort.

Snuggle in tight, as its time to read all our treasured stories. First let’s click on the light so that we can see all the delightful pictures that you love so much. Reach over and turn on the Serena & Lily Pagoda Table Lamp. There, that’s better. Now as we cuddle in tight to your favorite chair we can see your whole room and all it holds. With Babybox wall art decorating the walls and your bed to send you off to dream land this room is a pretty sweet place to be. Yes, I spy a beautiful baby’s room with all that her heart desires.

“Children often make the bed switch between 18 months and 3 years”, says Jodi Mindell, PhD, associate director of the Sleep Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. What often signals the timing: Your baby is simply outgrowing his crib. Or you’re motivated by another baby on the way. Then there’s the little adventurer who can’t wait to climb out of his crib—and plop onto his head.

“Some parents have their toddlers make the change by age two without any problems,” says Dr. Mindell. But many little ones have difficulties, she adds, like continually getting out of bed when they shouldn’t or frequently crying out for Mommy. “That’s why I strongly suggest switching beds closer to age three, when a child can cognitively understand the boundaries of staying in bed.”

Still, Dr. Mindell, adds, “some children are ready younger.” Yours may be a calm sleeper overall, precocious in his understanding of stay-in-bed rules or simply tall for his age. And if your child’s already potty trained and needs to get in and out of bed, it’s probably time to transition out of his crib. Since many toddlers don’t handle change well, talk about it first and involve your child in shopping for his new bed and sheets—whether you opt for a toddler bed with built-in rails or a twin bed with an attached guardrail at first for safety.
