Sydney and Noelle Survive Week One

It really hasn't been so bad.

She's a great sleeper.

Very mellow, mild mannered.

Can endure hugs and snuggles from Noelle, who really likes to hold her, rub her head, and pick off any dry skin. Noelle even says we can keep her.

Steadfast

Neither parent nor child was willing to give in, until she fell asleep at the table.

We don't usually have problems getting Noelle to eat her dinner, however with all the changes a girl can handle she's been pushing the dinner time envelope.

Sacrifice

Noelle has a few favorite things in this world. Two of them would be her white and pink silky blankets that she's been attached to since her beginning. However, since Sydney's arrival she's been ever so kind to share her things, on her own terms.

This picture wouldn't rotate right, but I think you can see that both silky blankets are there.

No we didn't stage this. Noelle decided that she needed a Barbie to play with and chose Cinderella. Needless to say the poor girl had glitter all over her legs from the dress.

Our Own DIY Project

This is our old table...

I bet you're all loving the country blue chairs too.

This is our new, old table. After hours of sanding, painting, and a few layers of polycrylic.

Now if only we had a nicely painted dining room.
