I am happy to say, Alison is back to her usual self and sleeping though the night again. (I really hope I didn't just jinx myself!) I think her sleep has been disrupted for a few reasons, the first being that not only one but two teeth popped through last week! The second being that she is 7 months old now and her schedule is changing. She has started to eat baby food 3 times per day now instead of two and is staying up until 6:30 instead of 6. Whatever works, right? She is such a happy little bugger. We are very lucky to have such great girls!
That brings me to the big sister. Julia is technically 4, but I swear she does things that like, I don't know, 7 year olds do. She is no longer into Sponge Bob (wipe tear), and certainly not Dora or any "babyish" or dare I say "age appropriate" shows. Her favorite new show is "My life as a Teenage Robot" and "Danny Phantom." I'm sorry, what? Are you a 7 year old boy? But that's what she likes. She found these shows accidentally, because, get this, she channel surfs.
She has also discovered computer games on noggin.com. She is addicted. She wakes up in the morning, comes down stairs and opens my computer. She knows how to open Internet Explorer and start playing her games. She can also click on vidoes and watch the "wub girls" (from the Wubbzy show), they are her favorite to sing along with. She also knows if she gets "lost" by clicking too many things to "go home" and her gaming home page reappears. Its really funny, but I have to set some serious limits on it!
Speaking of being a big kid, she is now in a booster seat instead of her regular car seat. She gave my mom a good scare today when she unbuckled herself while they were pulling into the grocery store. I explained to her how dangerous it was and how I only want her to be safe. A few hours went by and she asked, "um, can we just talk about it?" (That's her favorite catch phrase when she wants to pry for more info.) Needless to say, I am keeping my fingers crossed that was the last time she unbuckles!
On the subject of catch phrases, here are some other good ones from Julia....
"What on this eart (earth) are you doing?"
"Can I have some of that invisible paper (saran wrap) to put on my food so it does not get rot-ten?"

"I think I need to do some yoga breathing."
"Can I have some Reiki?" (a favorite!)
"I know, I know I know!"
"Oh, I was just joking!" (about something she totally was joking about)
so until next time......
