Big Girl

This past week I've been cleaning, sanding and painting my old bed from when I was little for Sweet P.

She tested out the springs and we moved all her blankets over. Now she's sleeping in a big girl bed.

I may have shed a tear or two at the fact that she's never going to be in a crib again.

This was her when she was a wee little one, peeking out at me from her crib.

How do they grow up so fast?!

    1. Thanks, Amy. I love seeing her hit new stages but it's also a little sad to know she'll never return to the stages she's passed. I guess it's part of growing up and I'm thankful I get to be here to watch them.

  10. i know it's bittersweet ~ but there is little to compare w. laying next to your little one at night, reading them a story, praying over them, and tucking them in.
    i pray that you & your little sweet P share many priceless moments in her new "big girl" bed...
    and i pray for peace on those nights when she doesn't want to go to bed...jumps on her bed when she should be laying down...vomits on her beautiful bed...and gets up *one* more time :)
