My Big Girl

I knew this day was coming, but like all of Ellie's milestones, I am somewhat sad. It means my baby is growing up. Tonight when I placed Ellie in her crib for bedtime, she was not happy. I tried to let her cry it out. She obviously had no intention of that tonight. When I returned to her bedroom, she was standing in her crib. Ellie has just recently started pulling up to things around the house, but tonight was the first time she had done that in her crib. Since Ellie was in no mood to be the first one to bed tonight, we had reverse bedtime--Ethan to bed first, then Erica, and finally Ellie. We do ever so often, and for some reason the kids love it.
