It’s very hard when you’ve already seen your little girls baby years pass before your eyes and now seeing the baby of the family also move to new milestones is almost near to impossible. Carissa was a great baby and I also cherished the moments but I really found myself so excited for every year she got older. I loved experiencing all her milestones and even now I can’t wait to see the next stage, however with Nathan, my “baby” (ok not baby he’s beyond 24 months size clothes I know) my feeling are different. Don’t get me wrong I love experiencing all his stages too, but I think seeing how fast Carissa’s first 5 yrs went I worry his will fly right by me….But despite my trying to hold on unless I learn to let go I won’t get to cherish both worlds the memories past and the moments to come and most importantly what I get to hold on to right now. So I present to you my big boy in his big boy bed. I can honestly say Nathan’s transition was a breeze! night one he stayed in bed the whole night with no fuss and although we had our reservations thinking it was just a fluke it has been a month of mostly peaceful bed times (hey he’s not perfect). Then recently we got a bunk bed for the kids and with his new thomas the engine blankets and sheets he has even decided to no longer fall asleep to Rachel ray 30 minute meals and cozy in bed all by himself. ahhhhhh… and yet WAAAAAAA… All of this is sweetly bitter and I’m sure with every stone they jump I’ll watch with amazement and praise to the Father who guides them across!
