Princess Sister

When I was pregnant with Andy and before I knew his gender, I dreamed of having another little girl to dress up. Today, Nicky and I thought it would be fun to turn Andy into a little princess sister. He hated it. He kept pulling at the ruffles and the sequins and you could read it in is face that he wanted it OFF. At least we know he isn’t leaning toward cross dressing at this point. He is a definite little man.

Here are some other kid funnies:

Today the three of us went to the airport to retrieve Jeff’s luggage that came in after he did last night. On the way home from the airport, Nicky was watching Barney on the little DVD player and Andy started having a problem about something. I tried to calm him down by talking to him but it didn’t work. A few minutes later, Nicky yelled out, “Boy, I can’t hear my show!” I just laughed to myself when she said it thinking there was no way that would help but then he totally stopped crying. There you go…Nicky knows how to soothe better than I can. Maybe I will try the yelling approach next time.

Last night I was reading scriptures and Nicky came over and grabbed the Bible from the triple. She started thumbing through the pages. She was crinkling things so I told her it was time to put it away and she said, “No, I’m reading my scriptures.” Then she kept saying, “Heavenly Father loves me,” softly to herself. It was so sweet.

Last week we started Andy back in his crib for full nights after the last sickness. I thought there would be hour and a halfs of crying all night as there has been in the past. However, he really didn’t cry much at all. A few nights ago he started saying, “night night,” when the lights went off. That is what we always say to Nicky when she goes to bed. I realized that he had been paying attention to me putting Nicky to bed for the last few months that is probably why he was more accepting of his own bed this time. He is such a little observer and always has been. He is just always quietly watching and it takes me by surprise what he understands.

Tonight they have moved in together and there is cohabitation once again in the small room…I hope it goes well.
