Isabela has a new sweater with fur around the hood.

“Mom, feel it. It’s so comfy.  It keeps me company!”

Now everything soft “keeps her company.”

Last night it was 10PM.  The kids were in bed, but would not fall asleep.  Brandon had already gone in a few times to tell them to stop playing (even though it’s in the dark and they are really quiet).  It is also daylight savings, so it was really like 11PM and we have church at 9am.  Finally, Brandon checked on them, and came out.  They were asleep!  He went down right then to clean the gym for a minute.  The second the door shut, I heard what sounded like whimpering.  It was silent except for the clock ticking.  The sounds were so quiet I had a hard time hearing them over the clock.  After a minute, I heard it again and went to check on the kids.  Isabela was sitting in bed.  I whispered, “Are you okay?”  She bust out laughing.  Xander popped up in bed with a huge grin on his face.  They had totally tricked Brandon into thinking they were asleep.  I broke down laughing til my gut hurt.  Isabela says, “Xander and I were being all crazy!”  I laid down with them, and told them a story.  Brandon came up a few minutes later, and we all had a good laugh. I can’t believe Bell got Xander to fake it well enough not being quite two years old yet.  The little stinkers! J

Isabela didn’t want to take a nap in her bed.  Brandon went downstairs to walk on the treadmill.  As soon as he left, Izzy came out asking if she could lay on her little couch instead.  I told her she needed to lay in her bed.  She asked, “But why do I have to follow all of daddy’s options?”  He always tells her she has two options, and she gets to choose.

It was pretty cute. (I did let her lay on her couch for a minute.  Usually she falls asleep pretty quickly.  But if she doesn’t, she goes back into her bed.)
