Tonight was a big night at our house.  Our baby girl isn't a baby anymore.  She took a huge step towards becoming a big girl tonight.  Boo-hoo and hip-hip hooray all at the same time.  

We can't have any more babies, so this is it.  

We are crib free FOREVER.  

It's sad and happy all at the same time.  

After Chloe had her cup of water for her night stand (yes, Stephanie and Keven, I did say I'd never let my kids have water by their bed), snuggled with her brother and said her prayers (which I need to record and post someday) she was ready for lights out.  No tears and no negotiating.  She rocks.

Chloe loved her big girl bed and and BLESS HER HEART  didn't get out of bed once.  Before falling asleep she yelled out "daddy...daddy...daddy" until Greg went in and got her her baby to sleep with.  Then she yelled out "daddy...daddy...daddy" a few minutes later until Greg went in her room and took her baby away from her (at Chloe's request, of course) and put the baby to bed in the baby's bed next to her big girl bed.

She's sleeping soundly now and I'm sure feeling pretty special that she's finally a big girl.  Little does she know that she's not really a big girl yet.  Potty training is next.

Goodnight.
