So a while ago we decided to finally put Crew into his big boy bed. We were going to do it when he turned two but dragged our feet because we expected it to be a hard transition. We got a bed rail and choose a night. So we started getting ready for bed like normal. Put on Pj's, got some milk, and read some books. Then I put him down in his new bed and left the room. I waited for a while expecting him to jump out of bed and pursue his new freedom. I waited...and nothing happened. He went to bed as if nothing was different. It was like magic! So after a while we peaked into his room to see if he was asleep and he was. So there I was expecting a big battle and instead I got a big boy. Looking at him asleep in that bed broke my heart. It's official, he's not my baby anymore. I almost cried and almost cry again as I write this. My baby is gone and now I have a little boy.

No More Baby

i've noticed like you that sometimes it's easier for our kids to adjust to new things than it is for us. having them stay little & innocent & sweet is so nice & hard to let go of.
on another note, can crew give caleb a few tips on sleeping so well??
Hey thanks for inviting us. That would have been a lot of fun. We do really want to move back. Someday we will but by that time everyone will be graduated and gone and we will be all alone like in the beginnig.
I think I have the cutest grandson. I totally understand the feelings of children growing up. We love you all and just wish you were closer.
