"Need Picktees Woe Woes"

Elise sleeping peacefully during a nap
John Harrison has been sleeping in his pack-n-play, but loves trying to take "naps" in the twin beds in his room. He has been waking up pretty early quite a few mornings recently.....we try desperately to get him to go back to sleep....David even lets John Harrison cuddle in beside him in one of the twin beds....sleep is never successful, though....the other morning when John Harrison woke up early, David went into his room and put John Harrison beside him in one of the twin beds in an effort to get our son to go back to sleep....to no avail...John Harrison told David "need picktees woe woes" (translated: I want to look at pictures of the island lizards on your iphone). Sure, John Harrison, what better thing to do than look at lizard pictures at 6 am?! This morning after I was able to get Elise to go back to sleep (after waking up to brother's crying on the monitor), I went into John Harrison's room and let him crawl into one of the twin beds beside me so David could have a few relaxing minutes lying in bed. John Harrison quickly informed me "picktees baby" and so we looked at pictures of Elise on my iphone. He loves looking at pictures or videos on our phones or computers.....it is funny because he picks out a key word or phrase that he says in each particular video and names the video that and uses that word to ask to see that specific video.
We are becoming quite sleep deprived between our two children. Such is life with two sweet, young children...the joys and challenges go hand in hand!

More local color.....Would you like a skull to go along with that fresh fish, Sir?


I may not have too much hair yet, but there's no doubt I'm a cute little girl. Maybe by this time next year, Elise will have enough hair to put a big bow in her hair:).
