Well last week turned out to be pretty busy...as if I should have expected anything less?! Luckily there weren't many bid due this week, so Chris was able to come home at a decent hour most days! :) Katherine especially LOVES it when Daddy comes home early enough to play with her. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were our normal busy days working at the shop, running errands, cleaning around the house, etc. On Wednesday Miss Katherine turned 17th Months old! We are one month away from 1 1/2 years old! WHOA! Anyway, this day also coincided with a drastic change in Katherine's sleep schedule. Normally this chica sleeps from 7:30-8ish at night until 7:30-8ish the next morning and then takes two 2 hour naps during the day. NOT ANYMORE! Wednesday morning she woke up at 6:15am...ugh...and then decided that she was not only not going to take 2 naps that day, but her one nap was only going to be a short cat nap of about 30 minutes. YIKES! So by the time Daddy got home for dinner on Wednesday night we had quite the little tyrant on our hands. This new schedule also screwed up Mommy's work schedule and therefore threw everything right out of whack. After all I am the super scheduled, planner mom...DO NOT mess with my schedule! hahaha.
Thursday and Friday were more of the same, up early, one nap for maybe 45mins to an hour and then down around 8pm. By Saturday I was worn out! Saturday morning Katherine and I were up and out of the house by 7:30am and off to get my hair cut and meet my parents for breakfast. Chris wanted to go on a bike ride and my parents had been out of town for two weeks in Orlando, so off we went. Katherine managed to survive both breakfast and the hair salon in one piece...thanks in most part to my Dad who managed to keep her entertained! We hurried home around 10:30 and she could barely keep her eyes open on the trek back home...I thought, "oh goody! She's going to take a nap so now I can take a quick snooze too!!!" WRONG! The second we pulled into the driveway I swear a switch flipped...she looked at me like "Let's go mom, I"m ready to rock and roll!" Ugh! So NO nap on Saturday!
Sunday we went to church as usual and we were hoping that she would wear herself out in the nursery and be ready for a nap after church. We packed her into the car to go home and she could barely keep her eyes open, so we decided to just drive around for a while and she would probably nod off in her car seat...WRONG! She looked out the window, kicked her feet, carried on an entire babble conversation with herself and sang...but NO sleeping. She did finally manage to fall asleep as we pulled into our neighborhood. So then we had lunch and proceeded to try and wear her out...no such luck. We finally gave up on a nap completely and went to the park by our house so that we could at least entertain her! She went down the slide, ran, ran, ran, ran, ran and sat in the swing for a while. I don't know if it wore her out, but it sure wore Chris and I out! :) So we decided to head home for supper. We get into the car pull out onto the road and what do ya know??? She's ASLEEP! Bummer. So we drive ALL over the place for about an hour, all the while she is conked the heck out. But we get an A that she did finally take a nap for the first time in two days! Whoo hoo!!! Now if we can just get her to take a nap in her crib we'll be in business! :)
This week looks to be pretty hectic, so hopefully we'll be still walking by the end of the week! Until next time!
