MMMM Good...

I can't write about Sophia and leave Tori out!!! Today Tori ate cereal for the first time. It's the beginning of her leaving the house, but it's gotta start somewhere.

For those of you looking for exciting blog reads, this post will set you over the edge!
Good night from Ardenland.

Casper the Crying Ghost

Today Sophia (or phophie as she says) graduated to the big girl's bed. We've had the bed for a month now, just letting her get used to it. She took a nap - though shorter than usual - and called out for 'mom' when she was done. So at bedtime tonight we tried it again. She was a bit reluctant to stay: I stayed with her a bit, prayed, yada yada yada....... then Tori started crying in her bed. While consoling Tori, Sophia started screaming and crying. As I rushed to her room and Matt flew up the stairs, I found myself staring down Casper the Crying Ghost!! :) Somehow she had wrapped herself in the sheet and fell off the end of the bed. I couldn't help but pause before rescuing her so Matt could see the ghost staring at us. ....................We removed the sheet and tried again. Now, 40 minutes later, she's still there - not asleep, but not crying either!!
