Daylight Savings Time is Ridiculous...and also, Ponytails!

So...been longer then I wanted it to be, but, hey, just have to accept that is life with a toddler. There just isn't always a free 30+ minutes to sit down and blog like I would LIKE to do. Maybe when the kids are older! ;) This past weekend we "sprung ahead" for spring and this has COMPLETELY thrown off Alaina's schedule which, in turn, COMPLETELY throws off my schedule. The past two nights she has gone to sleep at almost 11:00!! This morning she was so tired that she was falling asleep on the potty! Thankfully she took a 2.5 hour nap at daycare so she wasn't a sour puss all night! Is it wrong to let her sing her "hop hop hop" song for 20 minutes as she jumped around the kitchen because I secretly hoped it would wear her out?? Yeah well, it didn't work. As I sit here writing this up at 9:46 PM I can still hear her talking in her room...

Alaina's hair has just recently got to the point where you can get it into a full pony tail without part of the sides falling down! I love it because I like to see her sweet little face and ears and neck and it is just something different for her! Poor kid, with that cowlick in the front, there is no way she can have a "normal" hair-do. Maybe it will get better as she gets older...

All Smiles for Mommy!

Alaina loves to play with her babies so we have bought her a few things for her dolls to get her used to the new baby that is going to be around in about 5 more months... One thing I got her was a bath set and she has really enjoyed it. We give the babies a bath and then we put them on the changing pad and diaper them and get them ready for bed. She takes the job pretty seriously!

There ya go baby! All clean!

We have a lot of fun with our baby dolls! It is really good training for her but at the same time I don't want her to think that when baby comes it's an open invitation for her to just take care of the baby!

Well...it's 10:00 and I still hear a toddler talking in her room, so, pretty sure I should go check on that. When do kids usually get used to the time change? About 2 weeks before we fall back?? Yeah...that sounds about right...
