Sophie's photo session

When they've been quiet for a while while you were trying to get something done, you know they are up to something.  I was busy in kitchen and on the phone when I decided I needed to check on a little one who had been just a bit too quiet.  This is what I found.  Sophie had gotten her hands on my good camera, lined up all her babies and was having a photo session with him.  

 I guess for most 3 year olds this would be pretty dangerous but Sophie has always been a very careful little girl.  She very rarely gets hurt and she is super careful with most things including my camera.  I let her have her fun and I grabbed the iphone and snapped away.

The Bed....Part 5

I spent yesterday putting up the new bed and getting all the covers washed and the pillow shams ironed.  When I was finished, Sophie looked at the bed and said, "me want my baby bed back."  I know how she felt.  But it doesn't take long to get used to change and in no time Madison had her excited about sleeping in her new bed.  He crawled up in it with her and together they talked to Katelin Farmer  (Madison's girlfriend) via Facetime and I thought how funny and sweet it was to have my two kids playing around in the same bed.  One 17 and one 3.  It wasn't so long ago that he was little and moving out of a baby bed.  I am happy to say that Sophie did great her first night in her "big girl" bed.  Daddy couldn't help but go in there before work and wake her up.  He crawled up next to her and loved on his baby for a few minutes.  He couldn't do that when she was in a baby bed.   Even though it's a twin bed she looks so little in it and I realized that just because she is out of her baby bed, she will always be my baby no matter how big she gets.

The Bed...Part 4

My Dad, Pappy,  and I took his truck to pick up the new bed.  He then came over to help me take down the baby bed.  Camden came home from work and said, "maybe we could just leave it up a little longer.  If she stays in her baby bed then she stays a baby, right?"  I wish it were that easy.   This ended up being harder than I thought it would and I began considering putting this off for a few more months.   The problem is, even though we were having a hard time letting go, Sophie was excited about her new bed and so we kept going.
