DD is 2.9 and really doesn't like change. For example, we bought her new bedding (which she picked) but she won't even entertain the idea of putting it on her bed as she 'loves' her old ones. When we play new games the next time we play it we have to be in the same place as the first (most recent game was on the stairs). She has a new baby sister and I suggested to her she move to the bigger bedroom eventually and her wee sister can move into the nursery but again, she gets upset at the idea.
Anyway, the base of her cot bed has just broke. I've temporarily fixed it with duct tape but we are going to have to get her a new bed. I've explained to DD that we'll get her a new, bigger bed and she can chose the bedding etc but she gets hysterical. She cries and clings onto it telling me she loves it and will miss it and it's so comfy (you get the idea)
What's the best way to deal with the new bed? Her sleep is temperamental at best and this is really going to rock the boat. Should we just send her to MiL for the day and bite the bullet so it's done when she gets home and we'll deal with the epic meltdown it will undoubtedly cause?
Secondly, is this normal toddler behaviour??
