The Princess and Destroying Angel

Sometimes pictures are so deceiving. I had to capture this soft, precious image of Samantha, after refusing to take a nap "I'm not tired". Ever since she has given up her binkie's, at the first of the year, she has now refused to take a nap. She eventually crashes or ends up being grumpy. She is such a fun, energetic kid and I do enjoy our one on one time. Lately I have questioned- is there such a thing as too much dressing up? When do you know if too much is too much. I know she is only 2 1/2, but I also don't want her to be the kid who walks around wearing a cape when she's in high school, or the kid who really starts to believe she's in some fairy tale. Oh well, until then she will just wear some sort of Princess outfit everyday. Who doesn't want to be a Princess, or to dress up?

Alex has become our award winning drama king- when he's not destroying something. He has such an angelic face that it's so hard to get mad at him and most of the time we just end up laughing at his crying fits. Luckily he is easily distracted and will change his mood very fast. He has also remained to be the best snuggler!!! I was so afraid he was going to out grow this, but he will give the best hugs.
