We just took down the fabulous and well loved Stokke crib. It's seen us through two boys - from bassinet to crib to toddler and back to bassinet to crib to toddler.





When we had it in our loft, I would wheel him from the side of my bed to the kitchen to my desk, even into the bathroom while I showered. That was when I thought you couldn't leave a newborn alone for a second.


Then I realized I could leave him in it and he'd be entertained.




Until I found him learning to stand up while I was putting away groceries.




I had no idea I was so sentimental about it until we boxed it up. I admit, a few tears were shed. My oldest stayed in it until he was almost 3.


How did you feel about putting away the baby things for good?
