Hope everyone had a great Labor day! We had the Harris' Klan over for burgers and fun in the yard. We were a little nervous with the weather report that we'd be playing indoors but the sun came out right before the party began it was perfect! Had a great time, although didn't get to really chat with too many people, not nearly as many as I'd have liked but you know how it is with kids running around; feeding them, changing them and keeping an eye on them. It was good to see everyone's faces and their kids. Can't believe how much everyone changes and grows up so quickly.
I've mentioned a time or two the sleeping arrangements my girls go through with their beds. Well last night McKenna wanted to sleep in the crib and so I tried putting Tyler in the Toddler bed. It was a no-go with Tyler, she does really well at home and stays in bed but here...the only way to get McKenna out of the crib at that point was to allow her to fall asleep in my bed (we're all in the same room which has worked so far). Today at nap time Tyler asked to sleep on my bed and I let her lay on it for a few minutes but then put her in the crib and that was that. Tonight was a different story: Tyler wanted NOTHING to do with the crib. She cried and begged to sleep in my bed. I was so confused since she has NEVER slept with me, John or McKenna, always in a bed of her own. She tosses and turns all over the place and the the few times I have tried to get her to fall back to sleep with me she thinks it's a game and pokes at my eyes and giggles. Anyway this evening I've never seen her so adamant and mad. She's been getting a little more defiant and independent these days, but this was outrageous. She screamed, begged, pointed, cried trying to climb out of the crib, I couldn't believe she remembered McKenna slept there and what a fit she had. I did check in on her a few times and found she'd pooped. Twice in 10 minutes? Surprisingly McKenna was a champ and fell right asleep, sleeping through it all. She finally fell asleep after 30 minutes of all this...we'll have to see how things go tomorrow but I know I've learned a lesson through all this.

aww. . . sounds stressful. Amazing how some days they do good. I think it throws things off when they aren't in their own bed. .
