Despite the evidence of her first head wound (yes, one mom in panic) and the sweet smile, I love that it's the last picture of her with her crib in the background.Yep. Over the fourth of July weekend, we disassembled the crib that has been a sweet fixture in our home since the summer of 2003. (And yes, I did take a picture of her sleeping there for the final time. And I may have cried. But that's no surprise.)
She has spent the most time in the crib, since her siblings were always moved out before they were two...pending the arrival of a new baby. It was bittersweet for me. But she's so excited about being in her big-girl toddler bed now.
The main reason for the move was this:
Potty training. Hello Kitty undies. M&M rewards. (Except she says nMn's...so cute!) Three big accidents. And then...waking up dry in the morning. Waking up from naps to potty. Staying dry on two-hour car trips. We're pretty impressed around here. And searching for the perfect dress-up dress as her "all potty-trained" reward.And this week, while her older siblings are enjoying VBS, I've been enjoying one-on-one time with my little baby girl who is all of a sudden all-grown-up.
We've painted. Gone shopping. Had coffee dates. Played at a friend's house. Early lunches. It's been wonderful. Kinda sad that tomorrow is our last day.
