The Many Faces of Trouble.

 Here's Norah pretending to go night-night

in the big bed in her room.

 Lately she is much better at PRETENDING to

go to bed then ACTUALLY going to bed.

 We created our own monster here,

this is based mostly on our not taking the

bottle away from her yet and continuously

trying to get away with NOT giving it to

her but then giving in when she freaks out. 

 Every night we try to skip it, every night

she has the biggest melt down EVER. 

 (Every time I open the fridge she shoves her

self in there and has a stand off about never

leaving the inside of the fridge, SHE thinks

it's funny.)

Anyhow, I shouldn't even be bringing up this

whole bottle issue since we aren't even

technically standing strong on it yet.  

 I always feel like there is something coming

up that I want to wait through first.  I tell you

it's COMPLICATED.  She's just so old and

soooo opinionated!!

 Maybe we will just re-address this issue

when she is 18.

Or then it's HER problem, right??

 That's Ava's angry/scary face. 

Were you scared??

 I really prefer this face. 

 This girl is so sweet.

 The other night we were having all kinds of

trouble getting Norah to sleep.  Ava was already

in bed and could hear us carrying on about the

situation.  When we passed by Ava's room she

had put Norah's Hello Kitty out in the hall hoping

that would help her sleep.  Later we started

discussing concerns that Norah may have a

fever, when we passed by Ava's door the next

time Ava had laid her play thermometer, from

her doctors kit, outside her door. 

She is so funny & thoughtful!!

 Tippy-toes

 Ava practicing her letters.

 Norah calling her peeps.

 They pretty much just pose for me all day.

 Unless they are over it, but I just ignore that fact.

 There are just too many funny faces to capture.

 And I want to remember every single one of them.

 Norah climbed up on the bar stool and found

Ava's practice letters. 

 She kept saying "Look!  I do letters!!" 

Um, no. 

 They have so much fun together.

 Pondering, probably what kind of trouble

to get in to next...

So many faces, so much fun.
