Lauren update

It's been nearly a month since Lauren became a big sister and every day is an adjustment.  Last week she helped me paint some butterflies for Adalynn's room. Mommy finished them off and now they are hanging on the wall over Adalynn's wall.

 This pic shows her mischievous face.  You can just see her little mind working overtime!

So Lauren has been a bit defiant and wouldn't pick up her room one day last week. I gave her one more chance, she told me no, so I got out the garbage sacks, packed two plum full, set them on the porch and told her the garbage man would pick them up. Absolutely no effect. The next morning she brings me a couple of her Strawberry Shortcake dolls and says "Here mom, you missed a couple." Wow did that backfire.

So like I said, every day is an adjustment for the new big sister.  I just hope she starts to get into a routine before preschool.  We got our confirmation letter that we got into Westwood which is held at a large Baptist Church in Olympia.  That starts Sept. 13th!
