Sleepover

For Valentine's Day, Adam got sneaky and arranged a sleepover for Bailey with one of her playgroup buddies, Zoe. We loaned Ruth and Ryan our video monitor so that they could watch the girls (more for entertainment purposes than anything). They said it was hilarious to watch - the two of them trying to have conversations (they don't always understand each other at this age) and going back and forth to each other. A bit like an Abbot and Costello movie.

Apparently Bailey went to sleep easily, but woke up at 5:30am announcing, "My mommy and daddy are coming to get me." Zoe informed her that we weren't coming until after breakfast, but Bailey did not back down. She wasn't upset, just didn't want to miss us! We picked her up around 10:30am and she fell asleep on the way home and slept until 2pm - and when she woke up she wanted to go back to Zoe's to play - she had a great time!! (and so did mommy and daddy) Our little girl is really growing up!

These aren't the real pics - this is them pretending to have a sleepover the week before:




Cinderella

We've moved to a new princess - Cinderella. On Wednesday night/morning, Bailey woke up at 2:30am because she thought she saw a snake (a very kind one who was holding up her clothes in her closet - also known as a clothes rod), a bee (again, a nice one, she caught him),and then (while she was up) she thought she'd act out the entire movie of Cinderella - it took until 6:30am. I listened to it on the monitor - she's got the script and score down - I'm hiding the movie for a little while, I think this is a sign that she's watched it too much (and, I don't want a repeat - I need my sleep)!

Momo comes to play

While I was recuperating from my tummy tuck, Momo came up to spend the afternoon with Bailey and play. They made cookies together, which Bailey LOVED! She was actually more of a participant with Momo than she ever is with me. When she and I make cookies, she breaks the egg and then wants to wash her hands (which is code for play in the water). With Momo, she wanted to help mix and put other ingredients in. Here are some pics:

Bailey Sings Belle

Bailey's favorite new activity is for me to play Belle while she acts the song - this evening she began spontaneously broke into song. If you listen close you can almost make out the words and melody. Oh, and she doesn't believe in second verses - she just loops through the first verse (well, and a bridge) - as far as she's concerned, if the composer really cared about the second verse they'd have put it first.
