Singing and Sleeping

The big news! Marina slept in a toddler bed last night!

I am not foolish enough to dissect how it went, whether or not she liked it and stayed in it all night and all that because I know it will all change once the novelty wears off.

The other news: the bed is in Ella's room!

Since, lately, Marina has been having a hard time going to bed by herself, insisting that we stay in her room until she falls asleep (and by insist I mean: screaming like a horror movie, taking the sheets off the crib, taking off her pajamas and pull-up and peeing on the bed), we thought maybe her sister would keep her company and calm her down.

Well, it didn't really work out like that.
But they did giggle and giggle for about 10 minutes while I was out of the room, which was probably the cutest thing they've ever done as sisters.

And so here is a video that has absolutely nothing to do with any of this.

It's Marina singing her favorite song, Slippery Fish.

This was back in September, when she didn't really know the words:

And yes, that's Lambie.
