We Knew This Day Would Come...

...Eli has figured out how to climb out of his crib.

In unison his parents cry out, "nooooOOOOOOO!"

This occurred this morning. Daddy was awake, but snuggled in bed with Chloe. (Mommy was taking her morning out....ahhhhh.) Then, none-other-than our little E man, makes his way up the stairs, to the end of the bed, up into the bed with Daddy and Chloe.

Daddy says, "Did Mommy take you out of bed?"
Eli: "uh-huh." (umm...no...she is not home)
Daddy: "How did you get out of bed?!!?!"
Eli replies, "I fall down."

It is over gang. The days of letting him talk and play in his bed while we catch a few more winks. Over.
Single tear falls. Heavy sigh.
