The Robinson County Post

N and E have been really enjoying each other's company lately.  It warms my heart to watch them growing to be good friends.  Jason and I were pretty skeptical when they asked if they could nap together.  We thought there was no way they would actually get any sleep.  But, they proved us wrong by sacking out in less than 10 minutes, with nary a peep!

 In other news of note...Eli recently decided that he didn't like sleeping in diapers (he's been going without them in the daytime for almost a year, but I'd been nervous about letting him go overnight), so we've been diaper (and accident) free for a little over a week now.  Free at last!! 

With his new-found transition into "big boy-dom", he has also begun trying to dress himself...

He still has a little bit of trouble telling the front from the back on his shorts...but I have to give him an "E" for effort.

(And please note his new "high and tight" corps cut.  Norah wasn't sure how she felt about his "almost bald in the back" hair cut...but after I showed her how soft it felt, she was sold.

N: "Buddy, I like your fuzzy bunny haircut!"
E: "Sank you, Norah."

Side note: Almost any time she compliments him, Eli will reply with a solemn and serious, "Sank you Norah.", coupled with a single nod of approval.  It is so cute.  I can already tell how much he values her opinion.

Another side note--the pillows in the background of the first photo of E are some the fruits of my latest sewing efforts.  I cranked out 10 new throw pillows for the couch, recliner and love seat last week using black and white fabrics, with a little bit of green as an accent.  The silhouette shown is Eli, and Norah's is on the other end of the couch.  The kids are pretty proud of them, and think they are "their" pillows.  I hope to finally banish the aqua vertical blinds (that came with the house) in favor of some damask drapes sometime in the near future.
