Last night while trying to put Little Miss Wacky Pants to bed, I got the pleasure of seeing some stars. Libby was in a great, but overstimulated mood. I could not get her to lie still and let me read. She was all over the bed and then did her infamous head snap, which connected with my cheek. I saw stars immediately. Oye, did it hurt. Eric came to the rescue and put her to bed for me while I sat with an ice bag on my cheek. It is very swollen today and I have a black eye. It feels very uncomfortable. Libby hugged and apologized last night, and this morning. I think seeing the outcome from her actions may have had an impact on her. But then again, who knows.
We are talking about bringing down her "big girl bed" from the attic. It is a toddler bed that our friends gave to us. Eric does not like the idea of her being able to run around and possibly getting into trouble, but she will be three at the end of August, and I think it is a good time to begin the transition. Not to sound knee jerky, but all of her friends who are the same age are now in toddler, if not twin or full beds. We will wait until we get back from vacation to make the move.
Grand Old Day was fun, if a bit cold. Last year, Libby had on sun screen, this year; a coat, hat, mittens and a blanket! She loved petting some pot bellied pigs at the petting zoo. I loved petting the kangaroos. They were so soft.
Sun is trying to peek out. We have had the rain and gray skies, time for some sunshine and warm weather!
It's time...you'll have a few days of retraining her to stay in the bed but you'll get through it. Maybe she'll love it! Aid was never even in a crib.
ReplyDeleteWe did a sticker chart for when Malia stayed in her bed. That helped a lot after a week she was there without the stickers. Sorry to hear about your eye. I know how they can just catch you off guard.
