Well Evelyn cried until the middle of the night again, just like every night, but about 2 weeks ago she cut her mid morning nap out of her schedule. She only takes about 2 or 3 twenty minute naps during the day and then wants to stay up and torture herself until 1,2, sometimes 3 in the morning. So, basically, I'm exhausted and resistant to accept the fact that my baby doesn't like to sleep very much.
What is even harder is when she puts on a big dramatic performance and then finally calms down and falls asleep for a nap. I get so excited and honestly believe that I'll be able to close my eyes, but right when my body begins to relax I hear "wahhhhhhh" and if i try to ignore it for a couple minutes in hopes that she will fall back asleep I hear "WAAAAHHHHHH WAAAAHHHHH"... until i go pick her up and then she has worked herself up so much that it takes a good twenty minutes until she is calm.
On and on, my days go.
Today I almost reached my breaking point. Its hard when shes so worked up about this teething mess that she wont respond to my voice or kisses, just screeeeaaaaaaams.
So I cried a little bit and then decided that I needed to treat myself to a chai at Starbucks asap even if I had to listen to that scream the whole drive, but right after I got a little caffeine in my system she decided to pass out... like a real nap. She is sitting in her car seat snoring, but now I cant nap of course. Ironic, no? That's usually how it goes.
OH! Why do they make crib sheets SO hard to get on those stinking mattresses? I literally break a sweat trying to get it on and then I lay her down and she spits up all over the new one 5 minutes later.
Bah Humbug.
I know it, I hate getting those freaken crib sheets on! Get some sheet savers! It may save you from a change.. here's a link...
