Since Jayden has been in school, Sidney and I have had a lot of one on one time together. I have really been enjoying it. She has become a lot more talkative, and I love being able to focus on just her. First thing in the morning, even before breakfast, she likes to color with me. Then we cuddle up and read books together for a while. It's really cute to hear her read a book in her own words. She gets the general story right if it's one she's heard before, but if it's new to her, listening to her make up the words is a delight. One of her favorite things to do is to do makeovers. So if we have nowhere to go, I'll let her do my makeup and then I'll do hers. She usually starts out fairly conservative, but I end up with about 4 lipsticks smeared across my face and big blobs of black eyeliner on my eyelids. You can't tell too well in this picture, but I have way too much lipstick on my face. We are having so much fun together.


She usually loves to take pictures with me, but not on this particular day.
She thinks it's so funny to set the timer and make a funny face. So she tells me to make a funny face, and when I do, she simply says, "Funny face!"
