We had a ton of fun at Chick-fil-A this evening. We met up with Auntie, Aunt Nette and Aunt Lisa. (Aunt Nette's church was having a fundraiser night.) Gracie LOVED the cow and Allie was terrified. She kept saying "no touch me!" and patting her chest. Aunt Nette had to hug her every time the cow walked near our table. Gracie was really excited and she wanted to have her picture taken with the cow. (She is now asking constantly when the cow is going to be there again.) Both girls enjoyed playing in the play area after we ate. Allie climbed up and went down the slide over and over--this was the first time she really played. It was a great evening!
We are engaged in a little Babywise boot-camp at our house. Gracie's sleeping has gotten pretty bad and we have to do something. So, we are cracking down on her. It is not easy. Listening to her cry is just about the wost thing ever. I have been following the eat-play-sleep cycle from Babywise , but not much else. I have been putting her to sleep, while she listens to the vacuum cleaner or the stove fan. She is so used to napping on me that she won't sleep in her bed during the day. So, I end up holding her for nap-time so that she will actually take a nap. She does okay in her bed at night, most of the time. In the past week she has been up twice for 2-hour stretches in the middle of the night. As much as I love her, this isn't Mommy's favorite time to hang out with Gracie. It has become quite a struggle to get her to go to sleep and stay asleep. We are experiencing too many evenings of Gracie crying because she is up too late and can't fall asleep. Last nig...
