A big girl bed....a paci free life


So one week and one day ago Pooh bear went full on big girl. She moved to a big girl bed and went paci free. Several weeks ago she announced that she wanted to be in a big girl bed. I told her that she needed to start staying dry all night. She was staying dry all day and during naps but nigh time was a different story. Then all of the sudden she started staying dry. ALL. NIGHT. So she was dry day and night for 2 weeks. The hubs and I decided to go get her a bedspread that would fit her full sized big girl bed. She wanted pink. We found a loud polka-dotty (pink, green and blue on a chocolate background) set. She loved it! We set it up and then dropped the bomb. NO MORE PACI. Guess what?! She hasn't asked for it. NOT. ONCE. She  has miraculously stayed in her bed until I get her out. I am loving my new big girl.

Okay, now to be honest, she's only on the mattress and box spring. I call her pooh bear only because #1 gave her that nickname when she was born, but reality is she's part T-I-double grrr! We will put her room together shortly. Maybe after I switch her rooms.  Let's see how many changes I can throw at this girl in such a short time period before she breaks! {just kidding mom} She's had this room for almost 3 years now and I have to switch.

Yes, I am going to switch her rooms with the little man's. He's a L.I.G.H.T. SLEEPER! His room shares a wall with my bathroom and when my husband gets up at O'dark thirty my little man light sleeper gets up. Early riser=major grump-a-saurus. She's such a heavy sleeper. They need to switch.

His current room is pale green and had a U.G.L.Y border and a chair rail. She wants a pink room.
Well I spent about an hour working on Satan's wallpaper. Daddy taped it off and got the pink paint. Soon and very soon we will paint it a lovely shade. And switch-a-roo. Now her current room is white so that should be an easy painting job. No border, No chair rail.

Its been a big week for pooh bear. She's done an amazing job with all the changes!

A JOURNEY OF THE HEART

"No NO No NO NO No!" That was a recent entry into my journal. I was asked to do something that I without a shadow of a doubt knew it was God asking me to do it. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO! I literally followed it with 2 pages of ME telling God why I didn't want to do it and why I couldn't do it. Yes 2 pages.  Wow! I strapped on my toddler attitude and went to town. *Flashback to 1 month ago* Child #1's Kindergarten teacher, Kara,  also  attends the church we attend and we occasionally see each other at the same service. Well, one particular evening we got to talking and she asked me to join our church's version of VBS. We go to the west side {off campus} of town to the Somalian population and do a day time VBS and lunch for these kids for an entire week. Cool part, my own kids can come and be apart of the "missions trip."  What an invaluable a lesson to my kids to show love to others! Kara is heading crafts and wanted me to craft it up with her. ...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
