A little art and a whole lotta sleep

Can I brag? Is that an O.k. thing to do while blogging? I slept for seven, yes, seven straight hours last night! Our daughter, Sela, has been sleeping with us still after almost three years. Aidan Rue was in a toddler bed around 2 years in preparation for the arrival of Sela. He did great with the transition, Sela on the other hand has been a bear. A lady bear, of course, but a sure sassy one! After trying the toddler bed in our bedroom and failing we pondered the idea of "just get her out now!" This past weekend we painted her bedroom and got her excited about her own room. The room finally became Sela's room vs. Aidan's old bedroom. Night #1. Cried all night. No sleep for any of us. Night #2. Woke at 8 then 9:30 with extreme leg cramps. (Her little calfs were so tight. They felt like little rocks under the skin.) I massaged her legs for 30 minutes - then - presto! She didn't wake until just after 8!!!! I awoke at 5 checking her breathing, that is where I got my 7 hours. Lets all cross our fingers again tonight.

Here is a historic home I painted in Caseville, MI. I am going to give you there Chamber email - GREAT festivals in the summer. www.casevillechamber.com The building I painted is now a coffee/tea shop that sells antiques. The funkiest little lady owns the shop and they are keeping it going in that teeny tiny town.
