Garrett is Growing Up
Well it hit me tonight. Garrett is leaving "baby" and entering "toddler". It is a hard pill to swallow. Tonight, for the first time ever, he did not sleep in his crib because he wanted to sleep on the bottom bunk in Grant's room. So I tucked Grant into the top bunk; Garrett into the bottom. Kissed them good night and closed the door.
Then I heard Grant say, "Garrett, isn't this so cool? You are on the bottom and I am on the top!" And then Garrett said his usual, "Uh HUH!" in agreement.
I felt a little sad that Garrett did not want to be put in his crib. OK, a LOT SAD. But I let him go. I guess I have learned as a parent you have to roll with the changes. The silver lining is he got out of the bed once for more milk then climbed right back in fell asleep. This kid has never slept in a big boy bed "by himself". So I am thankful he transitioned so easily.
I spent a lot of time the past few days looking at baby pictures of both boys. Then, tonight, this happened with the bed. The thought of not having a crib in the house makes me nauseated.
When your last baby is no longer a baby, another chapter of your life closes. I am just not sure I was ready for this chapter to end.

Sunday FUNDAY!
Grant started indoor soccer this past Sunday. It was followed by one of his friends and teammates (Reid's) birthday party!
Garrett and Stella sharing some Goldfish.
Halloween Parade 2013
We sat at my cousin Calvin's Dental office for the parade as usual this year. Aunt Becky helped entertain the boys until the parade started. I then met up with my friends to catch up.
Halloween 2013
The boys went with some of the neighbors as Mario Cart this year. Grant was Luigi and Garrett was Toad. Here are some pics of us making the costumes and Halloween Night.
