It's Friday!
I'm so excited it's the weekend! MG and I had movie and pizza night tonight. I was looking forward to night at home with my girl. She is a handful though, I'm pretty sure the "terrible twos" started a little early in my house. I have found that just ignoring her fits allows her to comfort herself and realize it won't get her anywhere. It doesn't mean that it isn't hard as crap to ignore. I'm also excited about tomorrow. I am going to take the mountain of baby clothes, toys, bottles, and equipment to a local consignment store and hopefully make a little bit of money. If I do maybe I'll get a little Christmas shopping in this weekend too! I promised myself last December that I wouldn't wait until December 21st to start buying again!
As far as the sleeping situation is going, I'm proud to report that she has slept in her own bed the past 2 nights, with no problems at all. As I type this she is sleepy soundly, in her own bed, even through this thunderstorm that is making me jump! Each night I have had to make a conscious decision to do it. I know It sounds so strange, but the idea of her being in the same house and in a different room makes me feel like I will miss something. I guess its because of the amount of things I miss out on while I'm at work. I can already tell a difference in the way I am sleeping. I'm going to keep it up! I truly think it will be the best thing for both of us. I do miss my snuggle buddy though!
Here are some recent photos of the bear girl...they are perfect examples of her personality these days!

I was trying to clean her old car seat and she decided to sit in it...guess she missed it!
playing in the empty cabinets at her Aunt Amy's new apartment...love this one!
she is obsessed with my wallet. I wish she realized how much of it was already hers!
when I tell her to smile these days, this is what she does!
on the way to daycare, she had just woken up, but she just looked so dang cute!
She is absolutely precious :). Love it! And, yes, the Terrible Twos seem to be spreading like a disease. Emma pitches her fits, too (in the house, in the middle of Wal-Mart, while our preacher is preaching on Sunday morning, you name it... she does it), and I just try to ignore it. She's gotten to where she tells herself, "Not nice," after pitching her fits, then she goes about her merry little way! Haha :). And yes, in response to your Tweet, we DO need to get together! When's the next time you'll be in Rome? I know you were just here recently, and I forgot ALL about it!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are adorable!!! And I am proud of you for getting her in that nice bed of hers, I know it really will make a difference for you sleep wise. There are not enough words in the world for me to be able to tell you how much I love you and how thankful I am for you, this week and every other one!
