So as one would assume, my daughter is having issues getting down for naps and bedtime. It's not all because we are in a different environment than she is used to ( big part though because she hates change) but it is also because she will be turning two soon. What two year old doesn't have their own idea of what they should be doing? And wow is she opinionated and vocal about what she does and does not want! So I have had to get super hero-ish sly and inventive. This afternoon after about a half hour of trying to get her down, I had to go into that super mom mode. I bounced and swayed her for about 10 min until I thought she was asleep and then layed her in bed. Of course as soon one lock of hair from her pretty little head hit the bed she was crying again and so I just threw the blanket over her and then ducked right down to the floor. I knew I had to lay perfectly still and perfectly silent for her to even think about falling back to sleep. Slowly she drifted back off but every time I thought it was safe to get up she stirred or made a sound as if I was going to wake her up. So I saw no other option but to crawl (practically army crawl) out of the bedroom and slowly close the door behind me. She is now sound asleep. Had to share because looking back I totally wish I had a hidden camera in this place to play that back because I would have to bet that I looked pretty darn humorous.
