Gillian has a little green blanket that Grandma crocheted for her baby dolls. Gillian uses the baby blanket all the time. A few weeks ago, she brought it too me and said “Can Grandma fix it?” And she held up the blanket. I asked “Gillian how did that happen?” She said with a straight face… Continue reading Baby blanket
The kids went to bed a little after 8 tonight. I could hear them still moving around by 8:45. So I went to check on them. Gillian was laying with her feet on her pillow. I giggled and gave her a kiss. She said “You know, I’m backwards!” I laughed. “Yes Gillian I can see… Continue reading Backwards
I always check on the kids before I go to sleep. I give them an extra kiss and make sure they are covered with their blankets. They are so innocent and sweet when they are asleep. Here are some of my favorite recent sleeping pictures.
Gillian doesn’t take naps anymore. However everyday at school, her class still naps after lunch. Since Gillian can be a bit distracting, her mat is over by the play kitchen while all of her friends are on the other side of the room. Tonight, Daddy and Gillian had the following conversation: Daddy: Did you take… Continue reading The kitchen
We had to get up super early last Wednesday morning to get to the airport on time. We left our house at 3 am so that we could meet at Uncle T and Aunt Missy’s house. We thought the kids would sleep in the car. We were wrong. They were wide awake by the time… Continue reading The airport
I woke up this morning and there was a little girl in our bed. I’m not sure when she joined us, but there she was snuggling Daddy and I. I got up to get in the shower and told her “Don’t worry, Daddy is here with you.” But she started to cry. I asked her what was… Continue reading morning snuggles
Daddy lets me sleep in on the weekends. I truly enjoy the extra time sleeping, but sometimes it isn’t that simple. Daddy needs to remind John every night to “Not wake up Mommy. Do not go in and snuggle her, do not check on her, just go downstairs and play.” Saturday morning, John came downstairs… Continue reading weekend mornings
This morning, John came into our bed and snuggled up next to me. He grabbed my arm and started rolling back and forth. I was ok with the snuggling, but not when he was basically tugging my arm. I kicked him out of the bed. But of course I couldn’t fall back to sleep after… Continue reading Wake up
John is an early riser. On school days he wakes up before his alarm. On the weekends he tends to be the first one up. This morning was no different. He came into our room and started to climb into our bed. Daddy told him “John, go downstairs, open the backdoor for Duncan and then… Continue reading Wake up call
I went to give the kids some goodnight kisses tonight. Gillian was snug in her bed and she refused to let me snuggle with her. But she did give me a “kiss on my face” (aka a kiss on the lips) and a squeezie. I went to check on John. It was super quiet in… Continue reading Goodnight kisses
