Today was a beautiful spring day. It was sunny and warm. A little too sunny for my fair maiden, Miss Care Bear. Her poor face got fried! I always forget over the winter how easily she burns until a sunny clear spring day reminds me. She got her fair skin from me so you would think because of all my painful burns I would remember to protect her better. March just seems too early to be thinking about sunscreen! I know, a horrible problem to have. =)Care Bear is a funny girl. Yes she is still a drama queen and she still does not sleep well but she is FUNNY! Because she has two older siblings, she is trying to grow up way too fast. What does she like to watch on TV? Elmo? No, she loves I-Carly and Drake and Josh because that is what Jaco and La-La like. So because of these shows she talks about kissing. Awhile ago she was sitting on my lap and out of no where she says, "Mom, you want to make out?" I just about died! If you listen to her while she plays Barbies, there is a whole lot of kissing going on. It is kind of humorous but it also makes me sad because my baby is growing up way too fast!
Care Bear has decided she does not want to nap anymore. In the last 3 weeks I think she has taken one nap. She is adjusting so our afternoons aren't too bad now and bedtime is pretty easy. The trick is to get her teeth brushed before she crashes on the couch! Tonight she fell asleep halfway on the couch with her legs suspended on the coffee table. Then when I scooped her up to take to bed she put her her hands on her cheeks. It was pretty cute. Made me think of when she was a tiny baby.
This picture is from a few weeks ago. I think she starts off most nights on the couch and then has to be moved to her bed. That can be tricky though because if you don't wait long enough or wait too long she starts screaming and freaking out. Someday she will sleep like a sweet little angel and give her mom a break!
She does have matching jammies but she is a very independent child. I figure I'll worry more about the daytime clothes matching! Although lately she will get dressed in a clean pair of jammies for the day. Yes, I said DAY! If she had her way she would stay in PJ's 24/7. My kind of wardrobe.

So sweet! Rachel lately goes to bed in her jammies with a regular shirt over it - have no idea where that came from. My kids are like me, the Princess and the pea, our sleeping conditions have to be perfect! I don't think I have any pictures of my kids asleep anywhere but their beds. I love that last picture of her - too cute!
She is so cute. What a fun little girl. I also struggle with getting my teeth brushed before I want to crash... When you're zonked you're zonked!
Poor little Care Bear's cheeks! I have gotten so lucky with my olive children. I rarely put sunscreen on them. I love the mismatched jammies, but especially because the first picture she has the top on. Then in the next she has the bottoms that match, but spongebob on top! What a fun little girl!
Poor little cheeks, so did you make out or give her any pointers? J/K! She looks so quiet and peaceful sleeping...
Connor LOVES jammie day...they are so comfortable I can totally see why. Can adults have Jammie Day?
I love the sleep shots. She is so cute. I can't believe how fast they grow. It seems like yesterday we were switching babies in the hospital. I will never forget that one. My children are unfortunate with the fair skin as well, I will have to remember with you.
