Last week my husband told me it was time to start looking for a 'big boy bed' for Tot. Tot is still happy in his crib, and so am I, but I know that unfortunately it is time. I have been looking for a red comforter to go with his room for a very long time. I even looked for one for S., and never found one. Well, today was the day. I found a beautiful red comfortable, whose price is even more beautiful. (S.'s Land of Nod quilt was $150.00, ridiculous I know!). Anyway, I also found the last package of Thomas and Friends sheets. They will match perfectly with the comforter. I think God is trying to send a message to me. I need to let his babyhood behind.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I am sad about this, because it is the official end of his babyhood. Yes, I know he's 3 1/2 years old, so he hasn't been a baby in a very long time, but him being in a crib kept the illusion alive. I have this pit in my stomach. There will be no more babiesfor us. And that's what we agreed to. That's what I want. I don't want another baby, I just wantTot to still be a baby. How have any of you coped with your youngest graduating to the big boy bed? I need advice on how to let go.

How can I let THIS go?

Moving Brody into a big-boy bed was so hard! We didn't have much of a choice though, since he was climbing out of his crib!
The decision was very easy for us cause our tots were always climbing out of their cribs. They have been in their toddler beds for some time now. The transition was smooth for all of us.
Just try to remember that wherever he sleeps, he will always be your "baby."
I am sad too. I am also on the fence I know i cannot have any more kids, but I wouldn't mind having a chubby toddler again.
Now, with the hysterectomy and the legal seperation, children are the last things I need.
Good Luck and I'm sad too. I cannot beleive I have a busy 8 year old who doesn't need here mommy for many things anymore.
I will be checking back to see how you are doing with this! My little guy is 2 1/2 and I am dreading his move to a big boy bed later this year. I can completely sympathize with you!
