tgif.

once upon a time before we went on a trip to indiana my baby took regular naps.
it was a wonderful time. a time of happy babies and happy mommies and some sort of order in general. in indiana, the babe did not nap well. too much partying . . . you wouldn't want to miss anything! and since we've been home she continues to refuse to nap.


once upon a time when carly was a baby and she just laid there all cute and nursed all day and hung out, she didn't nap. but she was happy all day, so i couldn't complain too much. then she started regular scheduled napping and i saw just how blissful life could be with a child who naps. now? not napping. now? not happy all day. now? fussing/screaming/whining all day. the girl is exhausted but won't sleep.


we have serious chaos right now in the c house.


carly's current favorite hobby is to crawl around crying and whining and tearing the house apart.
and chewing on shoes.
and everytime i put her down in her crib she screams like its a torture chamber.
its your BED, child.
i wish someone would force me into bed to sleep twice a day.
you think you would be able to stay one step ahead of such a tiny thing.
wrong.
so wrong.

i'm considering never going anywhere ever again.

though i don't get it because she did great after Idaho.

maybe she is teething.

i don't know but i finally left her in her crib and got in the shower

i think she is asleep now.

anyway.

TGIF.

i could use the back-up.

Patrick is doing the same thing! He never has regularly napped, but he at least napped throughout the day. While in Massachusetts, he partied the entire time and now back in TN all he has done is scream and scream and scream. Oh and did I mention, he screams all day long. I FEEL your pain! Hang in there!

My little boy didn't sleep for a week when his little sister came along. Then one day he just snapped out of it and fell back in love with his crib. He was also teething. I bet Carly will soon remember how wonderful naps are :) Good luck!

I think Carly misses her grandparents in Indiana and Idaho! That would make it all better!
