This is one of my all-time favorites, too. One of the things I like about the color version is that the colors are so muted that it kind of looks like a black-and-white shot. But I should try it....

Probably one of my favorites. A professional couldn't have done it better. As lovely as it is in color, I bet black and white would be a beautiful timeless piece as well! (Another title for this piece, "Lady Boyds".) :) I love this picture! Probably one of my favorites. A professional couldn’t have done it better.

]]> Comment on Our snoozer — or, How to transition from co-sleeper to crib by Lindsay Tako http://boydsnest.org/news/2008/how-to-transition-from-co-sleeper-to-crib/#comment-5451 Lindsay Tako Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:04:07 +0000 http://boydsnest.org/news/?p=2078#comment-5451 I was thinking about your eventually transferring Lucy-who-has-my-birthday into a bed and thought I would tell you what we did...I'm always curious what other people do... We transferred Marie out of the crib right around her second birthday (may have even been a month before). We went straight into a big-girl bed (no toddler bed, I didn't want to buy one) with no railings or anything and she learned right away to sleep in it. We also made a really big deal out of it so she would feel like it was special. The best part about it was that because it was a big bed with no stool to get out with (we helped her in) it took her 8 months(!) to figure out how to get out on her own!! : ) I hope when your time comes to transfer Lucy it goes as well!

Rosie was either in our bed or the co-sleeper for so long that we didn't have a second crib. Recently, we borrowed a crib from some friends (the one you see in the photo) -- we didn't want to buy another one because we anticipate moving Lucy into a big bed in a few months. We set up a diaper changing station in the dining room (we do clear it off and change the tablecloth before eating there :) and we have a small dresser in the dining room where we are storing Rosie's clothes for now. Eventually the girls will share a room, dresser space, etc., but we didn't have space or money for lots of extra furniture that will only be used for a year or so. Currently, I'm all excited about selling things (like the co-sleeper) on craigslist so we can get some space back in our basement! Jolinta, in response to your furniture question:

I'm glad to hear it all went so smoothly - nice to know that not every transition in life has to be difficult. We got breathable crib bumpers (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2266849) for our crib because Ella also liked to get legs/arms stuck out of the crib and then it would interrupt her sleep.

Like I keep saying - I'm sure glad that you're going through these things just before we are so we can learn from your experiences! I'm sure I'll be refering to this entry when it's our turn in the winter! Your family is doing a great job of growing and learning as the Lord leads. :) Thanks for the talk about potty training a couple of days ago!
