2012_03_01 Thursday

Elise really had a day. With her big girl bed, I think her naps are a bit less sleep focused. I know today's nap barely happened, if at all. And, she was a stinker at lunch, so she barely ate anything worthwhile.

I got the kids dressed and out the door to pick up Dave at the train station only to find out that the trains were delayed. Luckily, we hadn't gone very far, so we turned around, and Ms. Elise lost her mind. I'm not sure if she thought daddy wasn't coming home or what, but she absolutely lost control...and it didn't stop once he showed up...or through dinner...after we jammed some rice and broccoli trees into her, she calmed down a little. I was able to read while she oriented a baby from the den to her big girl room and bed. After a lengthy tuck-in, she wailed when I closed the door. I think she's too exhausted to even get out of bed -- we haven't had that happen yet (whew) -- but she was very unimpressed this evening.

I think the whole evening (read: Elise melting down) sort of stressed Jonathan out too. poor guy. But, he and I made a loaf of bread that we ate at dinner. delicious. He wants to save the heal for Opa's visit next week. Lucky Opa!
