Second Time's A Charm?
I'm not going to pretend I'm going to be great at this blog. But I am going to try so that those of you that don't live close to us can see Janie a little more often :)
I'll start off by saying that for Halloween, Jane was Princess Tiana from Princess and the Frog. She told everyone she was "a Princess of Maldonia", even though most people don't know what that means.
She had a BLAST going trunk-or-treating at mom and dad's ward. As soon as she realized they would give her candy for saying "Trick-or-treat", I couldn't keep up with her running from car to car! Most people would say she looked so cute, then give her an extra handful of candy :) 
We also took her trick-or-treating to a few houses just for her to try and she LOVED that as well. She and Olivia would knock on the door, say trick-or-treat, then try to go inside of each person's house. I'm not sure whether they were looking for something or if they were just cold, but it was hilarious seeing people's faces when these tiny girls ran in the house! It was a lot of fun and she still talks about Halloween all the time.
A couple weeks ago, Jane figured out how to climb out of her crib. I put her down for a nap one day and then about 20 minutes later, she just comes waltzing out and goes, "Hi mom!" After a few days of that (and a few middle of the night thuds), we decided to turn her bed into a toddler bed.
For some reason, that has made her not sleep as well at night. She often doesn't make a peep when she wakes up during the night, but then comes into our room and gets really close to my face and whispers "Hi, mom" (several times a night). A couple of nights ago, I woke up at 2:30 to find that Jane had climbed in bed with us, snuggled under my covers, and was just playing games on my phone, oblivious to the fact that it was the middle of the night :) Hopefully, she starts sleeping again soon!
We're trying to be really consistent about having family prayer with Jane, but at night when she's tired it is especially challenging. The attached picture was her idea of being reverent and good to say the prayer that night :)
That ought to be good for now. Wish me luck that this isn't my only post for the next year and a half! :)
