Oh, big news here. I don't think I've written about this yet, but for a little while the girls have actually been sleeping in their own beds and through the night! I know, I know. They're 4 1/2 and 2 1/2. They should've been doing this a long time ago, but lay off! ;) Seriously, I was lazy and wanted to just sleep, I didn't think they'd go in their own beds and didn't want to put the effort into trying. But since Scott has been gone, I figured I'd be able to just do it, knowing I couldn't try to rely on him to help. That way, I wouldn't have to be mad at him for being a heavier sleeper than I am. That sounds so dumb. Oh well, that's how I work. So anyway, with encouragement, I put a gate in Maya's doorway to keep her in her room and so I wouldn't be tempted to let her crawl into bed with me. So after a little while of her waking up and me having to put her back in bed (some nights I was SO exhausted), finally she has been much easier to put to bed, I can even stand in the hallway and hum to her for a few minutes, then go to my own room before she falls asleep. I never thought that would happen! She used to have to be touching me or I had to be holding her then I had to lay her down after she was asleep. But now she's so proud in the morning when she wakes up and yells for me, she says, "Mommy! I slept in my bed all night!!" It's cute. But, I'm even boring myself with this. Just know that things used to suck and now they don't. Yay! Moving on....
The other day, I did Maya's hair all silly. Here she is:
And a video bonus!
Ok, I'm done, I'm getting a bed sore from sitting in this chair.

oh back to school!
i miss the days of elementary school. full of art projects and fun!
We start preschool on Monday, she's insanely excited. Isn't great how they love it now? When she is in 9th grade I think the love will have faded....
remember how much you loved school?
i used to think that it was not fair that you got to stay home alot (or at least miss first hour). i could not stay home unless i had ebola!
Na- I know, I miss elementary school art class, too! That's when I really did like school.
Rachel- That'll be so fun for you guys! The small window of semi-freedon while they're at school is sooo nice.
Allison- Oh, I vow to never let my children do the crap I did! As much as it seems like I had fun not coming to school, it honestly was stressful. Well, the stressful part was coming back to class (and not knowing a thing of what was going on). I can't believe I graduated.
