Anna keeps asking, "do you want to take your portrait?" but I don't always have the energy to get out the background paper or really chase her down—just because she asks doesn't mean she cooperates when the time comes!
Today I decided to introduce Sarah to the Baby Bjorn for the time of day when she doesn't seem to want to fall asleep, doesn't want to sit in the bouncy seat, doesn't want to play in the Gymini, and only wants to be held. This worked out pretty well so I imagine I will be employing this soothing technique most afternoons at least until Grandma gets here.
