One of our favorite good night songs! (sometime in 2008 I believe)

O singing one of our favorite bedtime songs..."the clock says eight". I learned this song as a kid from my Cricket Doll. Any of you remember her? I guess being an only child you tend to find "comfort" in make believe friends - and your dollies. I LOVED this doll so much and she sat on my headboard each night telling me stories and singing to me until I feel asleep :) oooohhh how I miss her!!! I tried to find one for O, but since they are "collectors" now, to get a decent one or one in a box would be close to $200. I can't see myself spending that!

Well her she is, singing part of it. I missed the first half before I started taping.

Notice anything different?

A little accessory for her Aunt Rickie's wedding. She kept telling us she wanted long hair like us for the wedding but we just never grew it out. So voila! instant long hair! I do plan to make it look a lot nicer for the wedding. Literally she walked in from playing in the sprinkler and I shoved it on her head. Once her real hair is curled it will blend and look more uniform. I am proud at how well I matched the color, I was worried because I ordered it off line.

Being brave the best way she knows how.

Olena has a big issue with getting her nails clipped. This has been a problem since bringing her home and though it has improved a bit in four years, it is still a 45 minute fight just to trim her fingers and toes.

O: do you have to cut the baby one too? M: Yes! O:NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, not the baby one OK? M: I have to, it's really long O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, its my dragon claw. M: I still have to cut it O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, just leave it ok! Leave them all. I can do it. M: how? you don't know how to use the clippers. O: like this! (as she attempts to put her toes in her mouth and act like she biting the nails off) M: that's just wrong....not to mention disgusting. I need to cut them. Please give me your foot. O: (as nervous as be) just wait a minute.....**big sigh**....(gr
