Like Night and Day...

Having two little girls so close in age has changed my thinking entirely. I no longer believe as parents we have much influence over who our children are going to be, what they like or dislike, or how late they are going to sleep in the morning. They are who they are, and the quicker we learn that, the quicker we can all be more content and happy. Most recent example is their sleep habits. My little Lil took about a year to teach to fall asleep on her own. And we still struggle with it. She has never been one to just randomly fall asleep...instead she gets crankier and crankier...and will wake up early the next morning to remind us that she didn't sleep well and is still cranky. Now Carolyn on the other hand...at 5 months old, falls asleep at the dinner table :) She also never really gets cranky, she just falls asleep and wakes up with a smile on her face. But she's not all roses... she is the queen of blow-out poos!! (See below).

Here's the girlie girl with her purses and boots (that she puts on herself ever since I picked them up from a garage sale for a buck :))


And the sleepy head....

And her less attractive side...
