Lucy and Maggie tumbling on the mat.

Tonight after I tucked the girls in I heard Lucy practicing her Christmas program songs. It was so cute I tried to record some, but I didn't want to go in and mess up the nice time. Lucy stopped a couple of times to talk. The first time she is talking about not putting toys in her mouth. Maggie is cutting some teeth and really chewing. So Lucy is imitating this behavior and I told her not to. Then she asks Maggie if she is OK. Maggie is letting me know that Libby is barking to get in. All in all the room transition is going pretty well. Maggie has cried a bit more. Mainly because she doesn't want to stop playing. Also, Maggie usually falls asleep with the light off and Lucy does with the light on reading. So we are working that out.

Shared Room

I moved Maggie's crib in with Lucy's bed today. They had a great time listening to the Cars soundtrack and playing with toys while Mommy worked. We tucked them in about 15 minutes ago and they are currently squealing and playing. We'll see how the night goes.
There were several motivating factors that led to this none of which include a new baby (there will be no more little Browns at our house.) First, I always wanted to share a room with a sister. I think siblings that share a room have a closer bond. Second, the computer is currently in the playroom. Lucy has started to think that it is her personal toy and we don't like that. Third, we want to have an adult sanctuary. Currently the kids go everywhere and there is not place for Mom or Dad to go hang out when we need some down time. So the plan is to turn Maggie's old room into a media room with the computer, a TV, video games and a couch. The girls will have the entire basement as a playroom.

Maggie refused to have her snack in the high chair yesterday. So they had their crackers at the little table watching Dora.

We got our first little snow today.

Maggie was so bundled she could hardly move.

The Girls in GV

I guess Maggie didn't get enough car time over the holiday because she crawled right in her car seat when I was washing the covers this morning.
