While JoElle was at VBS (at a church in Mansfield), Alexa and I got to spend time together, just the two of us!
I found her behind her rocking chair, grinning at me, a full diaper in her hands. I had no idea where the diaper had come from? She was wearing a dress, so I didn't think at first, but then, her mischevious grin gave it away.
I pulled up her dress and lo and behold, no diaper! She had managed to take it off somehow, without undoing the straps!
Since she had it off, I told her she needed to try to use the potty, and she did try.
Last night, I put her on the potty while she took a bath (I thought we were about to have an accident), and she went into the potty! She was excited and I clapped for her and cheered. It's hilarious when she "pushes" to try to go, you think she might hurt herself straining!

Guess what...
OK so I was excited that my little one was asleep by 8:30, I even got out of the house along and got to shop (for diapers...) alone!!!
But then....when I got home, the baby was awake with Tim :)
At least she was happy!
Then the baby went to bed, so peacefully, so sweet. Finally, at home, nobody is up, I can do whatever I want! So I start watching Leno, he is always funny, then Big Sister wakes up. What? What is she doing up? She runs into the bedroom, half asleep, maybe sleepwalking? to give me a present, two hearts with jewels on it and a princess figurine. Interesting, maybe she was dreaming of giving me a present? I put her back in the bed, she asks me to pat her (I never pat her anymore), so I did, everytime I tried to creep away, she was instantaneously awake, giving me hugs and kissses and not letting go of the hug.... finally, she's asleep again, more Leno.
She comes and finds me on the couch, "Mommy I'm not tired anymore" By this time it is 1:30 a.m. AHHHHH. So I give her some fries that Daddy picked up for her. She gobbled them down along with a cup of chocolate milk. Still, not sleepy, I put on something "boring." Usually if I put on something she will think is boring, she falls asleep, like the news or something safe (i.e. no adult content or foul language). I find myself drifting off to sleep. But wait, she is still awake? Why isn't this working? It's putting me to sleep :)
I tell her, keep your eyes closed baby. She responds "My body won't let my eyes stay closed" Hmmm. Now what? Ok, turn off the t.v. then, goodnight sweetie. I guess she drifted off b/c I know I sure did (on the couch with her). Hey, whatever sleep you can get.
