The fun of children.....

I now remember why it was so easy to get Jade down last Wednesday.... because she started her day at just after 5am when she came into our room requesting Dora.... she didn't get it and was told to just go back to sleep... she didn't go back to sleep - rather lay there looking like a doped up monster.....

Anyway, we went around to Damian and Jaime's yesterday for an indoors picnic, we had planned on going to the beach with the kids - but - it rained... (how unusual... it's pretty much been raining since Christmas... at least Gladstone isn't going to flood....)


Anyway, I decided in the morning that I'd try again to get Jade's hair into a head band rather than putting in the piggy tails - because it would be less painful removing the headband.... she managed to keep it on for most of the car ride....but it didn't last.....

and it was just so cute!!!

When we got to Jaime's - I told her of my efforts and she went and got out some head bands taht didn't fit her - and we tried again... it took getting one to stay on Xander's head for Jade to keep it on - again - it didn't last long..... It's amazing how different Jade looks depending on if her hair is back in a head band, back in piggy tails - or just down and flopping all over her face.... It'll be good once it's long enough that it can just be left down without anything keeping it out of her eyes... but that's probably still a little while away now.....

Looking pretty.....

Looking Cool!! (we got in trouble for saying "pretty" to Xander!)

Oh, would you just go away with that Camera, the headband is in - now leave me!

The posing pair! :)
