The last night.

This is the last night of summer.

Tomorrow begins third grade and, sniff, kindergarten.

 

 

So the little boy got a big bed, finally, in celebration of this big step to elementary school.

 

Last night was his last night in that snug little crib, which I think he would have slept on right until his feet started pushing through the slats. He loved that bed, has been in it for five and a half years.

Tonight he sleeps in a big bed, well, a twin bed, the biggest bed that will fit in a small shared room.

And tomorrow he wakes up a kindergartener. Wow.
