Ella is going to be Jessie from Toy Story for our church's Fall Festival. I had bought her a cute cowgirl outfit with the cutest red cow girl boots form a local consignment store for her to wear. Secretly, I knew she would make the cutest little Jessie ever! Her Daddy knew it too and he ordered it for her off of e-bay! Now we just need to rent Toy Story so she will know who Jessie is!!! Those red boots are too cute!
I really enjoy scrapbooking. I know some people loathe it, but for me I enjoy the creative outlet it allows me! The only thing is that it is one more thing TO DO! I am scared to get too far behind in fear that I will never again get caught up. I have made the decison that after this year, I will only scrapbook a baby book for any remainding children the Lord blesses us with. I will do our yearly family scrapbook on-line. It will be cheaper, easier and smaller. Ella and I are the only ones who really enjoy looking at them anyways. Whew...I feel better already.
Okay, I have a confession. We just moved Eliza into her room last week at 13 months. I know! I know!! She has napped in there every single day during the day so it was not a new space for her. I have this thing about my girls being in their rooms. Fear seems to grip me most at night and I struggle with the what if's. Eliza's room is even a bit further than ella's and this made it even harder. I have a large walk-in closet and she has slept in there once she got old enough to call my name if she woke up! It was dark, furnished with a small crib and close to mommy. She slept well, we slept well....but it was time (actually past time)! Thankfully, she is doing great and mommy is too! I have learned to do what works for us as parents!
And last but not least....

I think it is great to do online scrapbooks. I have done one large one(12x12) for each baby's 1st year, and 1 for each year for our family. I work on it, but wait until Shutterfly has a 30% off and free shipping promotion. I end up making them big and adding lots of pages, so it adds up -- usually around $60, but SO worth it... I couldn't buy materials and time for that.
Also, I get smaller books (8x10 or 8x8) for events like a big party, a trip, holiday, or a photo shoot etc where I have too many good pictures. and the small books are cheaper.
With Charlotte just turning 5, I did think I might make a book for each kid every 5 years with the best if pics and favorite memories, that way they will have 3-4 books to keep one day.
I think your little precious will make a GREAT cowgirl!
