A mixed bag

This post is a bit of a mixed bag - a couple random things I've meant to blog about and just haven't gotten around to.







First, Katie is no longer in her crib. About 2 months ago we finally made the conversion to a toddler bed. For months we made alterations to her crib to prevent her from climbing out. But, once she started climbing out each time she didn't want to nap/sleep we didn't have a choice any longer. She is so proud of her "big girl bed" and shows it off to almost everyone who comes to our house.


Knowing that Katie may be our only child, it was difficult for me to put the crib away. I cried as we were taking it apart. To me it signified that our little girl isn't really a baby anymore. She truly is more grown up each day and showing her independence in so many ways. Its both wonderful, and a little sad.


Katie also had her first LunchBox day at school. She and I made a special shopping trip to pick out her lunch box. Initially, she selected a boys lunchbox which had a football, a soccer ball, and a basketball on it. I vetoed that choice thinking something more girlie would be appropriate. My mom laughed at the story....since I was the worst tomboy of all.
