Our little girl is getting to be a big girl. We had an eventful week. We got rid of the binky and took off the front of her crib so now it's now a toddler bed. She loves the bed this way...I miss the crib. Nap's are almost non-existent now that she can get out of bed. :(
Anna has always been a great sleeper. We would read stories, sing songs and lay her down, rarely any fussing. The last week was a different story, she would kick and scream and bang her head into the wall (really hard) when put in her crib. We took the binky away because she wouldn't stop hitting her head. I explained to her over and over that if she hit her head we would throw it away. She understood. We put her in bed and within 30 seconds she was going crazy and hitting her head. I went in popped the binky out and shut the door behind me. She screamed and cried for 45 min's. It was really sad but cute. She kept saying "I am so so so mad at my mom." over and over. Then she fell asleep. The next day she would tell everyone that her mom threw her binky in the garbage but we were going to go home and get it out.
The next night she didn't want to get in her bed and she wanted her binky, but it was gone. We put her mattress on the floor and she slept on it. At 5:00 she woke up wanting her pillow. When I went in she was under her bed, so we put her back in bed and she fell back asleep. Didn't even ask for the binky.
Saturday we took the front of her crib off. She was excited to have a big girl bed, but it took 2 hours of in and out before she went to sleep. The next night she did great, but when Shaun woke up at 6:45 and peeked in on her she was gone. He found her under her bed again.
Soon after that she ended up coming into our bed. She weasels her way in by saying "I promise I will be so so quite." She wasn't quite and she doesn't stop moving.
Anna ~ er er er er er (sounding like a rooster)
Me ~ What are you doing?
Anna ~ I'm cock-a-doodle-doing, it's time to get up!
Now we get to work on potty training. I'm not excited about this one. I don't care that she's still in a diaper, it's so much easier and convenient to change her a couple times a day rather then run to the potty lot's of times a day. 2 year old's are so much fun!!!
We were at the mall and I had turned my back for a second. Then I hear "mom take my picture". She fit's right in with the models. There is never a dull moment with this girl!!
