Payton & Project # 2

Well just as I figured, Payton has an ear infection. We are slowly on the mend over here. Payton took 2 successful, normal naps today (thank you Lord!!!!!!!) It has been awhile since she has had a good 3 hour nap... and lets be honest here, nap time can keep one sane!! Madelynn did sooooo so good at nap time without her paci and I was so excited when she stopped crying after just a few minutes... then she woke up... and cried enough for the both of us, my broken heart, and her aching soul. So I was a tad discouraged. We discovered that Nat seems to really calm her down during bed time so we are makin sure that he is there for her at bed time. She is such a daddys girl.

Today at nap time, I started on my second project that I had wanted to do... and both girls took such long naps... I finished it too! You may or may not have ever seen these, but it is a wipey case (ya know, like the ones you carry in your diaper bag.) I have always thought they were cute... but would never like spend money to buy one. Until I figured out that I could make one myself!

This particular case was the one that we got when we were in the hospital with Madelynn and we have used it ever since... so it is rather old and has seen better days so technically I should have just bought a new one and started fresh. But I figured since I was just "practicing" I would go ahead and start out on this old one. I think that I will definitely try again. I may be totally retarded for knowing the difference (sometimes I wonder if other moms are like me in baby brand stuff??) but this is pampers brand and the shape is rather awkward to do something like this on... Where as huggies brand is smaller and more straight to the point. So... my point is.... I think that it would be 10 times easier on the huggies case. (just in case you wanted to know.)

Wouldn't it be great if I would just get to the point and not ramble on and on?!?! =)
