My nurse
I have been sick the last few days and Lauren has been so, so good. She has been quiet, helpful, easily entertained and even a couple of time said, "Momma, I know how you feel." It makes my heart melt. Late of the first night of my sickness, I said, "Lauren, you are such a good girl," to which she replie, "I the best girl in the whole world!" It's true.
I love her so much!!

12 hours on, 12 hours off
So...naps. Yeah. They've pretty much stopped. That means she's awake as much as she's asleep which works out really well some days, and then other days, well...I need the break a nap gives me. When she doesn't nap and I need a break, I resort to DVDs. I need to thank the DVD Gods for allowing me to have a break. Some days, I need a nap. Any ideas on how to convince her momma needs a nap too?

Testing, 1-2-3, Testing...
Let's just say, Lauren isn't listening. To anything. Well, that's not entirely true. She always hears, "Let's go to the library/park/outside/to Princeton", but things like, "Eat your supper/waffle/lunch etc., Please come here, Please turn on your ears," and other such statements go undetected by her perfectly hearing ears.
Hope this testing ends soon. I've never been a very good test taker.

Smaller than a pillow
Seems so long ago, and yet it seems like yesterday. She wasn't yet a month old and already had all of us wrapped around that teeny tiny finger. Time flies when you're not looking. Seems like I am always looking and trying to remember every single detail, but pictures certianly help!!

When will these mean bugs go away?
Mosquitos love Lauren, and me. We were outside yesterday for 10 minutes in the middle of the afternoon and she got 6 bites and I got 5. GO AWAY ALREADY!!
This is tourture for a kid who loves to be outside and with the beautiful weather we are having, she wants to be out all of the time. So do I.
I certainly don't want to bring on winter too soon, but a good hard frost would do us a lot of good and kill those buggers so we could enjoy outside again!
Friday we are going to the pumpkin patch with our friends, I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

Tiny dancer
When we asked Lauren recently what she wanted to be for Halloween, she said, "A ballerina like Trina" (there is a show on Disney called JoJo's Circus and her friend Trina is a, you guessed it, ballerina). So a ballerina she will be.
As a matter of fact, last year she went as both a ladybug and a ballerina since our temperatures varied so much in a matter of two days. One costume was built to keep her warm (the ladybug) and one was to keep her cool (a cheap ballerina costume from Old Navy complete with shoes).
Now comes the hard part. The shoes are her favorite part. This year. Last year's costumes shoes, on this year's feet. See where I'm going with this? She wants to wear them all of the time. She doesn't seem to care that they are too small. She loves them. She wants to wear them all of the time, including to bed (and for those of you following along, I allow the shoes in bed in order to get some much needed sleep).
I need to get her some new shoes so she doesn't get bunions.
Good thing she's a great dancer, and so darn cute!!!
I'll post pictures when the time comes for trick or treating in the final costume.

3 nights and counting
Last night she slept all night in her bed, the two previous nights she got up only once. Yay!!! I think her Grandmomma figured out what was going on. Lauren was getting too hot, having bad dreams (like I do. Why didn't I think of that?) and then not being able to go back to sleep, would come in search of me.
Now with less cover, there seems to be more sleep.
Problem solved, at least for now.

Ah, the days of sleep...
Recently, just about the time I was getting really comfortable with Lauren sleeping in her big girl bed, she stopped. Stopped wanting to go in her room, let alone in her bed, and if you could get the first two things done, she certainly wasn't going to sleep there. Are you crazy? Sleep in her bed AT NIGHT?!?! COME ON!
At least that's what's what it seems. She will occasionally sleep in the hallway and on nights of desperation, sleeps on the floor of our room.
I don't want to think she's manipulating me into letting her sleep somewhere other than her bed, but that seems to be what's going on.
Grr! This is hard for me, but it seems to be hard for her as well.
I'll keep you updated.
