Tuesday - September 13, 2011

I'm so thrilled to report that Ella slept through the night again (9:20ish to 6:55am).  Woohoo! I hope this is the return of her awesome sleep schedule.

Morning Activities:  Ella did good on the car ride to work.  She played, talked and observed for the first 20 minutes and then took a mini nap (I think she could have slept longer if we kept driving).  She played with Leslie for the first hour or so and then took a short nap from 10:30-10:40am.  She woke up with a nice surprise - her grandparents visiting her. She was good for the first few minutes, but I think she realized she still wanted to sleep so she was a bit upset with her grandparents.  Poor thing, she gets so mad when she doesn't get her sleep.

After a couple outbursts and soothing sessions, Ella calmed down.  She must have realized she was going down for her nap because she started talking away.

Afternoon Activities:  Today wasn't the best day for Ella as she didn't get a morning nap.  BUT she still manage to take her long afternoon nap (1:10pm to 3:50pm). Ella did great on the car ride home - no crying but lots of talking.  She really enjoys sitting on the side (instead of the recommend middle seat) mostly due to the fact that she looks out the window.

Evening Activities:  We hurried home, showered and got ready for meeting.  Ella cried for a few minutes on the car ride (she was tired) but fell asleep ;)  She was actually pretty good for most of the meeting - at one point she kept talking and smiling in her bouncy!  Toward the end, she fell asleep on her own and continued to sleep on the car ride home.

Day 3 of no dirty diaper finally ended.  When we got home, Ella woke up and was wide awake.  A little fussy and then all of sudden started talking and concentrating.  She gave me a pretty massive dirty diaper ;)  But I happily accepted it!  She went down about 10:30ish.
