7 years later...Brody's little toes reach the end of the crib turned daybed/toddler bed and he was eager for his first big boy bed. I hunted down bunk beds and last night you should have felt the buzz in the air...the bunk beds were going up and the boys could hardly stand the wait. Oh, they were so excited!
As we cleared the room it was time for the crib to get broken down. It wasn't until that last screw was taken out and I crumbled into tears in Kyle's arms that it hit me - this marked an end of a season of life. Little hands and feet have grown, they are full of life and adventure and my role as a mother has morphed into something new...and my heart breaks just a little bit letting that go. It's a mama milestone.
It's a milestone for the boys too! They think their room is the coolest now...who can resist these smiles!

Hopefully hand it off to another mama who will love it as much as I do/did...interested?
Aw...Anne..I feel your "milestone" even though Syriana is only 3 months old, I am already missing the newborn.
The crib sounds amazing by the way :)

Time to pass it on...or keep it for the grandkids :) It is crazy how fast our little boys are growing up.
We need to do a BBQ...Let me talk with hubby and find a date. Miss you guys.
