The Carys Chronicles

We moved bedrooms in our house over the holidays. We took Carys' crib down and moved her into Chase's room. Chase had been waiting impatiently for this day to come. She really wanted Carys to move into her room. Well, it hasn't been working out as well as we hoped. Believe it or not, Carys gets into Chase's stuff! That has bothered Chase more than us. What has bothered us is the fact that Carys does not go to sleep like she used to. Instead she cries, doesn't want to take a nap, doesn't want to go to bed at night without Chase, and gets up out of her bed when she is quiet.

Today I took Chase to choir practice after putting Carys down for a nap. Gerren went with us. I told Landon to sit close to the hallway in the living room, so he could listen for Carys to get up. I don't think he was listening. He finally went in to check on her around 5:00. He immediately tried to call me on my cell phone, but I'd put it on vibrate at the dinner theater Friday night and had forgotten to turn the ringer back on. I didn't hear it vibrate in my purse.

It seems like Carys decided to paint her toenails with Chase's nail polish when she was supposed to be sleeping. Didn't she do a good job?


She was banished to my room to sit in the chair until Daddy got home. Doesn't she look contrite?


Do you think Greg can get a second job working in a nail salon?
