Leah asked if she could put herself to sleep one day last week. I usually insist that I come in and read books first, but I allowed it. I could hear her playing and laughing upstairs for a while before it went silent. When I went to check on her, this is what I found. I love the hat balancing on her head, and that she is surrounded by books.
I had to get a picture, so I ran back upstairs and left Juliet alone for a few seconds with the instructions, "be good". Of course she got right into the bathroom (her favorite area of the house) and was making a total mess. She knew I couldn't be mad, though, and was laughing and babbling about how much fun she was having in my absence.
I love this picture of her with her head thrown back. This is so Jelly Boo when she is really excited. It never fails to make me smile.
What a cute toothy grin!
