First of all, I'd like to know where my sweet little baby has gone...let's just say this week has been a challenge. Time out has stopped working. I knew it couldn't work forever, and the time has come that it does no good. She laughs at me or just crawls right out...looking me in the eye the whole time. Taking her out in public is next to impossible. She's either throwing a fit or trying to run away from me. And sleeping (naps and nighttime) have become rediculous. I'm more exhausted now than i was when she was a baby and woke up to eat every few hours. She's terrified of certain things at night. All of the bears, monkeys, and other stuffed animals have to go in the closet with the door closed. The kitty cats and doggies get to stay out though. When we were at steph's she didn't sleep the whole night because she was scared of the coat rack (although i did get lots of snuggle time). And at this point i think she's so sleepy, she's past the point of being able to sleep well. Don't get me wrong, she's still the precious, sweet, adorable little angel that we all know and love. She's just a little quirkier now and acting her age. i've been lucky, she's always been such an easy baby and toddler. but she's 2 now...and acting every bit of it!

"Aunt Steph, do you think she'll find me under here?" We had a nice little visit to steph's...a little shopping and pallet time with one of her favorite people. Here i am trying to get sarah to leave, her not wanting to go and outsmarting me by hiding under the blanket. it took me forever to find her!
