07.10.13 - Wednesday

I never know what you are, little girl. It makes for a very confusing existence.

Some days you are a Kitty Cat (and daintily crawl across the floor).

Some days you are a Sea Turtle (and creep along the floor on your belly).

Some days you're a Puppy Dog (and bark in response to any question asked of you).

And other days you're not just a Sea Turtle but a Leather Backed Sea Turtle--and woe betide me if I dare call you anything but Leather Backed!

I get in trouble if I call you Silly Rabbit, but I can call you Silly Kitty (or Sea Turtle or Puppy Dog or occasionally Whale).

And always you rescue the Tree Frogs.

We've taken a new step the last week or so. You've always been a difficult kid to get to sleep, my little Blueberry. This hasn't changed as you've gotten older. However, I think we've found a new way to conquer nap times with little fighting--and for this, Mommy is very thankful.

You see, dearest, you get very cranky in the afternoons when you have no nap, especially when we're on duty and you're having constant stimulation. But you don't like to take naps--they make you mad.

So we've compromised. You are learning the fine art of quiet time: reading books or coloring in your bed. And guess when, you've wound up sleeping about half that time any ways! Love a good compromise ;)

Mommy's can learn to.

Happy Fourth of July my darling girl.

We tried to Skype Nana and Papa this morning but couldn't get hold of them, so we made a video and posted that to them instead.

Pictures of you and Baby Brother.

He was trying to eat Doggie.
