Gymnastics when the sun's up
I've added another extra-curricular activity to Molly's schedule. Aside from twice-a-week swimming lessons, I've enrolled her in gymnastics! It is right up her alley. She loves it. This is a pic of her and her friend, Caden, from school. We dressed them alike and didn't know it until we got there - all the way to the black bow on the head. Of course, Molly didn't want her picture taken so she didn't pose or look.
On another GREAT note, we've made progress in Molly sleeping in her own bed (vs. ours) all night long. It's been about a year since she's stayed in her bed all night long. But with nice threats and encouraging rewards, my plan worked last night. i told her she couldn't get out of bed until the sun was out. The only thing she could do is talk to us through the monitor and we could come in there. She woke up twice crying but didn't get out of bed. I was so proud of her. Then this morning, she yelled to us, "Mommy, Daddy, the sun's up." And she got up. Now I owe her big time. Hopefully this will continue so we don't have to upgrade beds just so 2 extra kids can fit in with us. I'm sure Molly will be jealous of baby boy who will be sleeping in our room for a while.

Molly's Christmas loot
Every time I asked Molly what she wanted for Christmas, she would tell me, "A bear with a bow around the neck." So instead of a new bear, Santa took all her current bears that she owns and tied bows around the necks and lined them all up in the living room. She loved it.
And I almost forgot - her Santa picture for 2006. She actually smiled and talked to him - such a big girl!
