bye-bye crib

The crib is gone, I can hardly believe it! And this time we didn't pack it away in the basement, this time it's out of the house. Here's the before (the grainy photo is due to this being a still from video)...

And after in the garage...

Leah doesn't mind at all. She's actually been in the bed for a little while, she had been waking up in the middle of the night a lot, and so I would lay down on the bed with her until she fell back asleep. Once I realized I was basically staying in the bed to be a bedrail, I put the bedrails on her bed! The queen sized bed has been in her room all along, this used to be our spare room so we just moved the computer out, and put the crib up, voila baby room. Leah is doing really well in her big girl bed! And it's so funny that she's the younest of 3 kids, but has the biggest room and biggest bed. Part of why I didn't repaint her room and do it all up as a nursery was because the colour was nice and actually matched our crib bedding, and part because I assumed once she was 2 and moved into a bed we would be doing some room switching. My 2 big kids are in their own rooms which are quite small, room for a twin bed, dresser and small desk. But neither of them want the big room with the queen sized bed! So Leah stays in her room. I'll be doing some painting and decorating to make it more toddler friendly, right now it just looks like a regular room. Can't wait to make it all cute for her!!
