Emmy has said for the last 6 months that she is 3 years old, even though she wasn't even 2 1/2. When I would try to correct her, she would say "I don't like two. I three, mommy!" So it is only fitting that she has transformed in so many ways from a baby to a big girl. In the last few months, she has become potty-trained overnight (much to our EXTREME excitement), no longer needed the baby monitor (as she just comes out of her room when she is ready), and now...we have taken down the bedrails. I was ready to do this months ago but Christian wanted to wait. So we waited. Then Florida came and she slept in a twin beds that we pushed together with Seth in the other. No bed rails, tile floor...nervous. So we just positioned the pillows as mini-guards and Viola, she did fantastic! So two weeks ago, I spent two hours with Seth's helpfulness disassembling the "easy portable rails" and put them on the listserv at work. They were gone within a week. Emmy is out of baby gear now!
