I think Ally’s just about mastered the no diapers concept! She’s doing great. One down, two to go!
Since we’re on this kick of our kids growing up, we decided it was time to take the babies broken cribs down. (Plus it just wasn’t safe anymore for them to sleep in them.) So Saturday night was the first night they slept in their big girl beds. Of course they thought it was fun and games at first, but then once I stayed in there to make sure they stopped talking and playing, they settled right down and finally fell asleep. Then Sunday we did it again with nap time. Jerry went to his dad’s house for the day and I was left alone to figure out the whole sleeping thing. I figured if I take the cribs down they don’t have a choice of where to sleep…so I took them down and they’re doing great. At nap time Sunday they did very well once again, after I stayed in there to make sure they stopped talking and playing. So we’ve gone 3 nights and 2 naps so far…I think they’re starting to get the hang of it and are loving their big girl beds! (Plus now there’s plenty of room in their bedroom again for them to play, without the cribs in there!)

Oh, my....they are not babies anymore! What big girls. Did you cry taking down the cribs? I shed a few tears as we took down Ky's...something about knowing you will never be putting it up again. Tell Ally that we are so proud of her!
