Pictures that make me smile

Leah had her first trip to the dentist.  She has a beautiful smile, and the dentist said her teeth look great.  She went back to the chair by herself and was very brave and chatty- she told the hygienist all about her pet hamster (no we don't have a pet hamster, she is just FULL of tall tales lately) and was very excited to brush her teeth with her new toothbrush as soon as we got home.
Mr. Man has been trying my patience lately, as he's decided that he only needs to nap every other day or so.  I love my kids, and I love them even more after they've napped!  I swear he weighs 5 pounds less after a good long nap- at least that's the way it feels to my refreshed muscles. 
 Once I remember that my self-worth is not directly related to his sleep decisions, we generally have a much better day.  Plus, it helps that Adam is just the most handsome little fellow I've ever seen!

Fruit soup!

Leah and Adam are generally quite happy playing with each other- Leah is bossy and Adam is compliant, so they make a good pair.  Adam loves to watch Leah and then tries to imitate whatever she's done, whether it's joyfully sharing a toy, folding his arms to pray, or chucking something across the room because she can't get it to do what she wants.  We are starting  to remind her frequently about the importance of being a good example to her little brother.
One of the pleasures of having a girly older sister- being made pretty!

Regardless if my kids sleep or not, they get locked in their room for nap time. I need that alone time so I can finish the rest of the day in a good mood. I love the pictures of Adam with hair bows!
