**Sisters and Bows***

And "Flavor" and lunch. LOL. "Flavor" is what Julia has named her little purple bunny that came in her Easter basket...and NO she has never, ever seen or heard of "Flava Flav" or whatever the heck his name is. So where or why she came up with this name, who knows, but she is determined it IS his name. We found this afternoon that Devyn doesn't care for Pineapple at all. Julia loves it and has for some time, Devyn would pucker up at every bite and finally just insisted "NO More". Got some video I'll try to load at Dropshots later, for some reason I can't get Dropshots to work from the lap top. Very Annoying. So I'll have to wait until tonight when Daddy is home so I can have a few minutes on the PC.

We have had a rough few days here, Julia is just not sleeping at all at night anymore. I'm doing my best to keep her up today, not that she has napped for very long each day either, and just hope for the best tonight. Daddy and I both really need some sleep. She has always been up every couple of hours in the night but we just put her back to bed and she goes back to sleep til the next trip, well the last few nights she has just not been going back out. Even to getting up and wanting to play in her room, she has NEVER done this to this extreme before. She's had cycles where for a few days it would be rougher but then she would settle back into some semblance of a routine, this time it doesn't seem to be letting go. I'm sure it's worse because Daddy was gone last week, but I have to admit I expected the first part of the week to be rough, but it seems it has just gotten worse all week instead of better. I think we are going to have to make an appointment with the pediatrician and ask for a sleep study. She just doesn't seem to be winding down and relaxing like she should. Say some prayers if you are so inclined. They would be appreciated.

Okay, I just realized that Julia can not only sing the songs from "Barbie Diamond Castle" (yes, still a favorite movie) but she can quote lines now too.. goodness. She and Devyn will both sing the songs together, I think I just need to pick up the soundtrack and I won't have to see the movie so often. I really think they like the music from it more than they do the movie itself. Daddy will have a fit, he doesn't care for the songs, but they don't bother me, there are definitely worse things. LOL




This is getting her to try another bite of Pineapple, her reaction is not as obvious as the first few bites, but if you watch close you can see her start to pucker up. I think this was either the last or almost last bite of it I got her to take.

And this is her complete opposite reaction after a bite of her peanutbutter and fluff sandwich. She's an all or nothing kind of girl. Oh and yes, the pictures above, she was not thrilled at all with being asked to sit still long enough for a picture with her sister! Not that she didn't want HER picture taken, she just really didn't want to be next to Julia for it... oh my...
