Sleepy head...in a BiG BoY bed!

I Love This Boys Eyelashes(They remind me of Snuffleupagus)
First Night In Big Boy Bed!More Snuffy =)
This wasn't by choice, I was forced, by Nolan. He's been climbing in and out of his crib for quite sometime now so it became a safety issue. Liv was out of her crib at Nolan's age, but there's something about the second born. Instead of anticipating every milestone or stage, I want time to freeze every now and then, no rushing! Like I said, he was becoming a little monkey with the crib, in fact, when he'd climb back in, it was as if he was in track participating in the pole vault! He'd just run for it and then practically do a back flip into the crib, that's Nolan for ya. So last weekend Shane took his crib down. I couldn't even watch, it seriously made me sick to my stomach, I had to leave the room. The thought that the crib may never be used again in this family just crushes my heart, it has so much history. After Shane took it down he brought me all the bedding, bumper, crib skirt, etc...for the wash~I told him that I couldn't look at that either. My baby is growing up...sniff sniff :( I do have to say he's so darn cute in his wee sleigh bed, it suites him. While he is safer now, he's also a little excited about the freedom of not having to be lifted out of his bed. The other morning we heard a "flick" in his bedroom around 6:30 AM. There was light coming from underneath the door. We walked in and he was sitting on the floor with one of his books. Children are precious, but there's something about when they're sleeping. Nolan hardly ever falls asleep anywhere but his bed(or ours,) or the car. He asked Shane to wrap him like a burrito the other day on the couch and within 10 minutes he was sleeping sound. He did it again today when he was downstairs watching a show. I just want to squeeze him even harder when his cheeks are warm, his breathing is relaxed and his little mouth open, what is it about sleeping babies? I COULD JUST EAT!
