Naps and other strange things...

So Saff appears to be transitioning to one nap.  But it's touch and go with the morning nap (or like today, the morning nap was all she got).  Since it is impossible for me to "parent down" one kid when the other is wide awake and also in the bed, R is missing some naps.  Actually, he's taking it quite well.  He's having a nap every other day-ish.  We've moved bedtime up to 7 for days when Saff only gets one nap and R misses his.  So far so good.  Tonight she was alseep by 7:15 and he was asleep by 7:30.  We actually had some time to do other things.  Yay!

Here is my silly monkey on the kitchen counter "helping" me make dinner. She is eating a chunk of left over pork loin. Choking hazard? Nah!

Back by popular demand:  The bug sensory bin!  Now with more bugs!

 Since we skipped a nap today, we decided to make a house/fort out of left over Christmas boxes.  Both kids really enjoyed playing in the boxes.  Guess I'll have to keep them around a little longer.

 Finally, I've been using my extra wool sweater bits to make V-day brooches and flower hairpins for the upcoming swap.  These are 100% upcycled wool with needle-felting and vintage buttons on some.  I'm liking them!
