Pajama Day

Lauren was so excited to participate in the long-awaited Pajama Day at her preschool this past Friday. She had her outfit planned for an entire week and was so excited for the event, that I received a visit at both 2:30am and 5am Friday morning!

Lauren selected her monkey nightgown, pink leggings and her pink bathroom. (She informed us that only she and her teachers would be wearing bathrobes.)


During the day they were treated to a viewing of Max and Ruby in their sleep attire. I think the kids would wear their pajamas everyday if allowed...but then again, who wouldn't?!

She arrived!

As many of you recall, one of the items on Lauren's Wish List to Santa was a doll that "peeps and poops" as she calls it. Well...Santa delivered and Lauren was thrilled when she opened her doll on Christmas morning.


The day after Christmas, Lauren fed her doll for the first time. She was very careful to get the food in the mouth and give her baby water after each spoonful.


After the feeding, the baby's diaper became full and I had the honor of changing the baby's first "poopey" diaper. Much to Lauren's disappointment, the "poop" was a yellow liquid (the "food" was pears). Kate asked where the poop was since the yellow must be the "pee." I explained that the "pee" would be clear and that the yellow was supposed to be the "poop" from the pear food. Throughout the conversation, Lauren continued to ask how to make the doll "poop." Obviously they weren't prepared for the fact that a baby doll's bowel movements are a little different than their own.

How Times Change

With Kate's love for reading, our bedtime roles are slowly starting to diminish. Mark and I used to be the ones to read the bedtime stories, however lately Kate has assumed that role. Many a night, Lauren requests her sister over her parents. The times they are a changing!
