What I like to do is prepare the white pieces of paper he uses before he gets them. All you have to do is draw pictures, shapes, or messages in a white (NOT washable) crayon.

The Switch Yesterday morning, Benjamin and Lyla woke up around the same time. We got them up and put them on the bed next to us. I gave Lyla her bottle Benjamin gave Lyla her bottle.

While I really enjoy putting together my weekend roundups {i heart…}, many of the projects I feature are things from Etsy shops or merely for inspiration.
