Smiles and Big Girl Beds

I got another smile picture. I was trying to get a smile from him, with the camera at the ready, and I was a little too excited to get it, so I took it a half-second too early, before his grin was at it's peak. But it's cute anyway.

Here he is today rocking with Great Grama.

While Paige played with her precious water vessels and hose.

Tonight we had a movie night, and watched Over the Hedge. Paige LOVED it, she was glued to the screen. We purposely kept her up late for it, because tonight was her first night going to sleep in a big girl bed. We wanted her to be tired so she'd fall asleep more quickly. She and I rocked in the rocking chair and sang You Are My Sunshine like usual, and then moved to her bed, where I sang it some more, until she fell asleep. It didn't take long, and it went well. Now we wait and see what happens if she wakes up in the middle of the night and realizes it's different. Our trusty monitor will be set to a very high volume, and we also have a video monitor on her. Ha. I'm a little nervous. But more sad. We're nearly 1/9 through with the time Paige will live with us. Unless I decide not to prepare her for life on her own, so that she'll stay with us forever. I may do that.
