Sister love

Overheard on the monitor early last Saturday morning...

Ellie: (sadly) "I can't find my ducky. I can't find my ducky." (ducky = her blankie/lovey)
Gabby: "Ellie, you can come into my bed. I'll be your lovey."

Auntie Rae strikes again!!!

After a great visit with Auntie Rae, she hit us again with 2 more Bilibos. Craziness ensues.

Sweet sisters

A few weeks ago, I checked on Gabby and Ellie before I went to bed. A couple hours earlier, I had put them to bed in their own separate beds, as usual. (Ellie usually sleeps in the bed on the left with the blue bed rail). When I looked at Ellie's bed, I panicked momentarily, because I didn't see her, then I looked over to Gabby's bed, and found this.

(It only looks bright because of the flash). I moved Ellie back to her bed and she slept right through it. In the morning I asked Ellie why she moved to Gabby's bed, and she said she had been scared, so she went to Gabby's bed. How sweet is that!

In the Big Bath!

Maggie and Ben had their first bath together in the big tub last week.

It was a big hit!
