Now we are heading back in the same direction. Emily still needs a daily nap. Bella is getting to the point that she can get by without one.
Today I had them both lay down for their nap. I was cutting and sewing for the STUPID quilt that I decided to make. I needed a break. My fingers were hurting.
I looked into the girls' room and noticed that Bella was just laying there. Since she had been laying there for at least 30 minutes and wasn't sleeping I figured we would have some alone time.
Having two girls so close in age (these two are 14 months apart) it doesn't happen often that I have one on one time with either of them. They are different children when they are by themselves. Example: I don't hear any fighting!
So, while Emily is sleeping, Bella and I are hanging out.
We are laying in my bed watching Enchanted.
We are having some edamame and iced tea as a snack.
It is nice to just be relaxed with one of my girls. It doesn't happen very often.

I seriously love your bed. The headboard is so pretty and it just looks so big and comfy. I'm really picky about beds, but when I looked around in December, I didn't see much that caught my eye. And I doubt that my school will provide one that is all that nice.
Thanks! Funny cause I was JUST talking to my mom about my bed. When we lived in Indy, we had a king sized bed. When Jorge got here he bought a queen. It was NOT an easy adjustment. So, I bought two twins and gave the girls the queen. I bought a converter kit that makes two twins into a king. The head board is just something I did. I bought upholestry fabric and covered it. That way I can change it when I want to.
You are so crafty! I love it! That headboard is gorgeous!!!
One on one time is very different from when all of the kiddies are together. I had some one-on-one time with Jack this morning and we spent it coloring. :)
You can see in this blog post what my headboard originally looked like. I just got it down to a straight board and the blue in the post is actually a blanket. Later I bought the other fabric and cover it with that. I didn't even do any sewing. It is just pinned there with bobby pins. Easy!

I love when my Francesca takes a nap and Isabella and I have time together. It reminds me of the days when she was an only child.
