It's so hard to say goodbye....

Remember when Conor first moved out of the crib?

And left Jude all alone?

Well, as of about 8 weeks ago, Jude decided that he, too, was ready to make the change and began sleeping with Conor in the big bed. They are too cute when they get all of their bears and animals arranged at night so that can cuddle up and drift off to sleep. Here they are on a recent trip to the beach house snuggled together in the big bed.

Realizing the crib had become a storage bin for toys and clothing, I made the painful decision to take it out of their room and put in its place the desk that goes along with the bed and dresser. Before the crib left, all of the kids took the opportunity to say one final goodbye!

Surprisingly enough, Eli, who I can think slept in a crib.....well never in his whole life, decided to use it for a little snooze before it officially left the house.

And in the end, the babies now have their own big kid room. Complete with a new place for toys, books, dinosaurs and hideouts.

And sleeping together again couldn't be any sweeter!
