She said bye bye to her old room.
Read some stories to mommy.
We talked about old times.
And when we said "time for nite nite" she got up and headed out the bed.
(Which lead to an emergency google search "how to transition from crib to bed". Mom read up while Dad and Evelyn played 'getcha!'. We discovered there's nothing to it, and tried again.)
This time she stayed in bed.
And broke our hearts just a tiny little bit.
We sighed and hugged. Stood in the hallway helpless. Shouldn't she fight a little more? This should be a struggle. Why is she growing up so easily? I secretly hoped she would cry out for her daddy, "I'm not ready for this"-type tears, because I wasn't, ready for this.
More for us than her, we peeked through the door crack. But we could barely make out our baby Evelyn.
