Megans' Prayer (Last Night)*

Now I lay me, down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
Guard and guide me through the night,
and wake me with a morning light.
AAAAAmen.

God bless mommy...God bless daddy...God bless Michael...God bless my bunny...God bless my bear...God bless my pink blankets...God bless my flower bed...God bless my two pictures...God bless my two windows...God bless my closet...God bless my door...God bless my lamps. Thank you for waffles for dinner...thank you for syrup...thank you for sleep...thank you for...no, no, God bless waking up...God bless the world...God bless EVERYthing!

The end.

* This is almost verbatim. Perhaps I got one out of order, but this was pretty much it.

Randomness

I have been slack about posting cause I always want to write, too, but never have time. This will tide you over.

Princesses

Meggie, Molly and Mia (3M) at Disney on Ice.

The Times They Are A-Changin'

Well, my dad and I put up the big girl bed. It is all pink and pillow-y. Megan loved it, however she balked when it was actually time to nap in it. This was due to the fact that I banned paci use outside of the crib. So moving into the bed means that she must give up her biggest vice. I moved her back to the crib, so she could have the paci and the crying began. Then the climbing into the big girl bed started (I had the crib pushed up against the foot of the bed) to which I responded by moving it away from the bed. Then I left her crying, only to start hearing her bedroom door open and close, open and close. Apparently she can now reach the doorknob.

I think we're going to have to rearrange and then live with a crowded room for months until she sorts it all out.

Here she is, jumping for joy in her new awake spot.

Pretty Sure

Megan will work at Disney someday. The girl is very against wearing clothing other than underpants (which indicates a very different future profession, but...read on) as it impedes her quick changes into princess/ballerina garb. Or concoctions like this, which can be really quite creative.

Farewell Front Four

The last of the four front teeth came out...I don't remember when. Thought you all might like to see it. We can fit M&Ms right through there!

Christmas Number 3

The kids have so many Christmases...this was the last one, in Kansas.

Star Destroyer Success

Thank you, Grandma, for providing several hours of brain-racking, toe-tapping fun with this Lego set. Dan slaved for an eternity while Michael stopped by frequently to check on his progress. He then of course posed for the photo as if he himself had built this mighty ship. I might be exaggerating...perhaps he put a few pieces on.

Preschool Sing-Along

So preschoolers are not the best at following direction and completing a task as a group. But my girl was a STAR. Her teacher even asked me about a month ago to start bringing her twice a week so she wouldn't miss any practices for their little show. She said Megan is quite the singer. Megpie didn't let us down, belting them out practically alone and not missing any of her little hand gestures. Way to go, Peg.

Oh. My. Cuteness.

So Meg went a REAL salon and got a REAL haircut today. Cute, cute, cute.

My dad and I also finished cleaning and fixing up the antique bed I bought for her and got a mattress and all the bedding. We will set it up tomorrow...I am dreading it, cause she'll look so big in there. Photos to come.
