I can't fathom a loss such as yours . Children , especially very young kids are almost telepathic. They're perhaps a bit like animals in sensing discomfort or uncertainty around them, not unlike your family dog seeing your tears and curling up beside you. He may sense your grief, your loss! They are all smarter than we know.
I will tell you what I did with a client many years ago, when her daughter would just not let go of the crib, she was also four years old.
We left it in the room! and ignored it., added the new adorable big girl bed and all the trimmings! We walked her in there on the finish, we all did the oooohs, and aaaahaaahhhs. We told her she could pick her sleepy spot. " Baby girl crib, or big girls bed, you can sleep in either one!"
It took exactly two nights. ON THE THIRD DAY, THE CRIB WAS GONE. She was in the new white queen bed: )
I'm usually not a fan of the short term, and like full or queen in a boy room as a once and done. . But?!!! For 329.00 and a couple years? Sell it when you are done! You could have a lot of fun with this. From sheets and a little Stitch Witchery and an iron? You could tent/fort this with no effort at all. Instant fort!
In kindergarten? Just take off the top: )
For 39.99 Amazon? and some black rope ?
You could tie these on to that frame..: ) tacky? Yeah!!! Like you care, as long as he's jumping up and down happy?!
Would I do it? You bet, and in a heartbeat. Because you are going to change this room five times, before he heads to college.
You can do the same...with super hero's. Don't forget the decals, and most important? None of this lasts....it's childhood and it is fleeting. Have a blast..read in the fort, together. THAT'S "Perfect": )
