I used to love it when my mom would tell us stories about what we used to do when we were little. One of my favorite stories she's told me is about the time she found me organizing shoes in pairs in her closet. I've always had this thing for organization... I'll be the first to admit I don't have the most organized house, but I love to line things up and have some order when I put things away. So I just about melted when I walked into Joselyn's room and saw this:
Funny thing is, I don't even know when she did this! It just makes me smile so big.
I must mention the fact that Joselyn will NOT go to sleep until her room is SPIC and SPAN. She pretty much points out a little piece of dirt and says I need to pick it up before she will go to sleep. At first I thought it was a tactic of keeping me in her room a little bit longer so she wouldn't have to go to sleep, but I've learned otherwise. Now she helps me clean up her room to her liking before she goes to bed.
On a side note, Landen slept in his crib last night for the VERY FIRST TIME in his LIFE! Poor little guy has been stuck in his pack n' play his whole life because there was never enough room in our townhome for another crib or his own room. We let him continue to sleep in it when we moved here so that he would grow accustomed to his new room, and then to the crib being in his room. When we finally made the move I was a little bit nervous... but it all worked out just fine. It's like he'd been sleeping in that thing since the day he was born! I'm sure it's MUCH more comfortable!
Speaking of sleeping... the kids have routinely started sleeping until 7:30-8:30 am (compared to the 6:30am from before). Man have I been loving it... looks like it's not just the rain after all!
