How Sweet the Sound
I was just finishing up my Blog entry below a few minutes ago. Ben was upstairs in his crib crying (hopefully crying himself to sleep - he needs a nap). Little Miss "C" was behind me playing with her dollhouse - or so I thought. Through the monitor amidst Ben's screaming I hear her singing Jesus Loves Me....did she really? I turned around - she was gone. So I went upstairs to Ben's room. She had pulled her stool in beside his crib and was standing up there singing to him and telling him, "Calm down, Ben." What a little sister.
Pigtails & Mountains
It's a Saturday. Time to sleep in - relax - play with the family, right? Not. By 8:30 we'd be up, eaten breakfast and been to the store and back. The things I do sometime to avoid crowds make me question my own sanity!
So here's Little Miss "C" with her hair in pigtails for the first time. She had to wear it like that three days in a row until the novelty wore off. She's walking around our driveway on the roads that we drew - she walks and rides her toys on the "roads" and goes to visit her grandparents homes, Publix, church and "chicken cows" (a.k.a. Chick-Fil-A) which we also draw on the driveway at various points along the roads. It's great fun until it rains and Mommy had to draw the whole thing over again!
Our little firecracker also has an affinity for having things on her head. Goggles were first. A few weeks back panties came in to the picture, followed by a Christmas nightcap that she found in Ben's dresser. We'll have to send her to the Kentucky Derby one day.
Last weekend while Daddy chased down deer in the woods, the three of us visited Nana & Papa in the mountains. It was a gorgeous weekend, so we played at the lake and also managed to get in a picnic before heading home.
Ben is becoming an expert jumper in his "jumperoo" - he's jumping in it much earlier than Little Miss "C" did, and it keeps him upright for a while without me holding him all the time. Love. It.
