Molly and Janna

Janna has learned a new chore/ trick. She walks over to Molly's Dog food bag scoops the food and toddles over to her bowl and pour what she can in the bowl. Now this is a great thing except for Janna would do it over and over numerous times instead twice a day. Molly is overweight already and are trying to be careful to not feed her too much. The dog food bag may need to moved/ Janna proofed but for now she just get constant supervision.

Janna is becoming real friends with Molly. It is so fun to watch them discover each other.

A long night

Janna has never been a great sleeper. Usually she wakes up but goes right back to sleep after a few minutes. This was not the case last night. Isaac had gotten up that morning very early to finish a paper so he was tired already and went to bed before me. I cleaned the house up a little bit and decided to read. I went to bed a little before 11pm. I wish I had gone to bed when Isaac did. At 11:30 Janna wakes up screaming loudly. At 1am Isaac gets up to help because he can no longer sleep due to her screaming every time I set her down or even move wrong. At that point we try Tylenol thinking teeth and then gas drops a couple hours later after hearing some rumbling. We tried a video which usually works and she drifts off to sleep. The video and leaving her room is always a last resort but after two hours and she is awake awake we were exhausted. She kept going to the refrigerator but didn't want the milk or water, so after a couple fits over that and pulling my hair out we decided what harm could juice do we are all awake including Molly:) So she drank the juice and then wanted the pudding at the table on mom's lap. Doing anything to keep the screaming down we did that. After a couple bits, it is now 2am, she starts tugging at her clothes saying "off" so I take them off. Janna then makes a bee line to the bathroom say "Baaa" which means bath. That was it. I was not giving a her a bath at 2 am no matter how much she liked them or wanted one. She threw her red headed fit for about 15 minutes and then calmed down. Around 3:30am I finally got her to sleep and went to bed myself. Up at 6:30 to get ready for work and Janna up at 7:30 and neither one of us rested.

It was a long night, and I still love her with my whole heart. I hoping last night was a fluke and there is nothing wrong. There are no other signs of ear infection or sickness just a strong willed child. I think she gets it from her Dad:)

Though very tired I still smile thinking of the determination of my little monster who wanted a bath a 2am.

Walking

Yeah!!! We are walking on our own with no help. Janna is still a little shaky and prefers to crawl or help, but I am sure that will end soon.
Time to finish baby-proofing the cabinets!

Molly and Janna

Janna recently put two and two together. She likes to play with Molly's leash when in the living room and she is usually on my hip as I am taking Molly outside to go potty.
The other night she walked over to the leash and then walked to molly who was by the couch and pulled on Molly's collar. Isaac hooked the leash for her and Molly took a few steps taking Janna in tow. It was quite a site. Not wanting to bug Molly we took the leash off but Janna didn't like that and kept having us hook the leash a couple more times until she moved on to something else.
Maybe someday in a couple years she will take Molly Outside and Isaac and I won't debate on who is doing it this time:)
