When I told Dan about the nicknames my friend, Stephanie, has for her family members on her blog, we came up with blog names for our 3 cuties: Smarty, Speedy, & Smiley. I don't think I'll end up using them since this is a substitute journal for me & hope to get printed out "someday." But for just this one blog post we'll give it a whirl.
Speedy in action: helping Daddy blacken the front yard a bit with top soil.
Smiley joining the fun.
Smarty's front row seat.
Smiley still isn't sleeping through the night consistently. Smarty complained & then Speedy started getting cranky, so now her crib is in our walk-in closet after being kicked out of both her siblings' rooms. I felt bad putting her in there, but it turns out having extra space between her & Smarty & Speedy makes the 3 of them much happier... and Smiley looks so cute! She is also very pleased she can reach the light switch & turn on the light when she wakes up from her daily nap. Did I mention she doesn't sleep much for a 12 month old?
Grandpa brought over bubble wrap one day for the express purpose of letting the children play with it. Speedy was asleep but the girls had a great time with it! Grandpa was also nice enough to help me clean up dog vomit. Meigo has been sick for over a week. Thank goodness for wood floors.
Yogurt for morning snack. These two 1-year-olds are quite the trip! It is hard for me to believe they are both 1 b/c there is such a huge maturity difference right now. Smiley definitely enjoys her status as baby of the family.
One last one. Here's a picture of Smiley wearing both her rain coat with Smarty's rain coat on top (at her insistence). Look at how happy she is that her idea worked!
