Smart Little One

...So, lately Sasha has been resisting laying down in bed at bedtime. We'll do the bedtime routine, lay her down and turn the lights of; then we here her talking and singing to her stuffed animals, opening and closing her dresser drawers, and even turning her music on and off, and the volume up and down. The other day, we heard some little noises coming from her room and didn't really think about it until I heard a tap on her door. I knew she was out of bed, so I opened her door to encourage her to stay in her bed, when what did I find? She had several books open, right next to the door because she was using the light from under her door to read. What a smart little girl! She sure loves her books!

Today marks another milestone in her development. She is able to say her own name! It is so cute!!! The last couple of days she started saying Yeah in place of yes. It is so much better than her No, which was her favorite word over Christmas.

Braden is still smiling and jabbering. He slept a little better last night. We think it may have something to do with the fact that he had a couple of really good naps yesterday. It was a good birthday present for Hilary. It made her day so much better. That and the fact that Sasha was very helpful in cleaning the house, which allowed Hilary to get some cleaning done. We went out to dinner last night to Twigs, a nice little restaurant nearby. It was nice to go out. Ashley and Justin watched Sasha for us so that we didn't have to wrestle with her at the restaurant. Thank you guys. Braden slept nearly the entire time. Good times.

This morning we woke up to 5-6 more inches of snow! School was cancelled for the second time this week. Brit is enjoying that. Unfortunately, that just means more make-up days. But, oh well, a break is always good to shake things up a bit.
