Bye Bye Cribs!

Well, the cribs are gone (almost). :( A friend of mine at work is due in a couple of months and we gave them on of our cribs. They picked it up on Saturday.

For now, we have put the crib mattresses on the floor for the girls. They think it's pretty neat to have their beds on the floor! :)

Callie hasn't mastered the art of staying on her bed, though. Emma did a pretty good job. For some reason, Callie decided she wanted to be on the other side of the room, so the girls basically switched beds. Poor Emma, she never seems to have a say in the matter...when Callie makes a decision, that's it...luckily, Emma goes with the flow.

Anyway, both girls went to bed really well in their new beds on Saturday night. I did go up and check on them once and Callie was sound asleep. Emma was sitting right next to Callie with her elbow propped on the bed. I'm not sure if she wanted her bed back or what...she was just sitting there very calm. :) I hugged her and put her back on her new bed...she fell asleep within minutes.

When we went to bed, Callie was laying half on the bed and half on the floor. I put her back on the mattress.

Phil said he went in around 3:00 or so (Emma was fussing). Callie was totally in the floor. :) Luckily, Emma went right back to sleep.

We did buy twin mattresses for them on Saturday. We'll get one set tomorrow and the other sometime in the next couple of weeks (they only had one in stock). I think we'll keep the mattresses on the floor for awhile until they get used to them...then we'll put them up on rails. We'll also need to buy another set of safety rails to put on the side of their bed, since we KNOW Callie will fall out of bed.

It was kind of hard giving up the crib...we've had a crib in our house for 6 years. Now we're all going to have "big" beds. My babies aren't babies anymore!

  • You know what they say... As soon as you get rid of the crib(s), you get pregnant. We need to get together soon for lunch.
