Friday night was the night of "The Great Bed Swap!" We knew it was coming, we tried to hold it off as long as possible. But alas, our little 2 year old monkey made the decision for us when she began to crawl out of her crib at night. She is no longer confined behind bars!
So, she got Cambry's old bed, Cambry got Caiden's old bed, and Caiden got a bed that his cousin, Mace, used to sleep in. The kids were all really excited about it. I, on the other hand, shed a few tears as we replaced the crib with a big bed for Delaney. I don't know where they came from, but suddenly I realized that we would never use that crib again for one of our own babies. The crib that Chelan built 8 years ago has been replaced, and I guess that got to me! Caiden reminded me that he will be using that crib for his children someday (I guess we must have discussed it at some point). While I'm sad that we won't use it anymore in this house, I am so glad we have this beautiful heirloom to pass on to our children when the time comes!

| She figured out how to escape pretty quickly! The first night we heard books being shuffled around from her bookshelf to her bed for a very long time! |
