A couple of days ago, by the end of the day, she had accumulated no TV, no markers, no sweets, and was in bed by 7:00pm. Ugh. The next day she did a bit better with quiet time...not perfect by any means, but was able to complete her time.
She is currently sleeping on her bedroom floor. After waking up at 6am this morning [for no reason] she was throwing the biggest fit of her life during "quiet time". So quiet time ended and it was nap time. She screamed from inside her door until she fell asleep on the floor. Heaven.
Not wanting to do what she's told, having attitude, being [annoyingly] clingy, whining, and more extreme attitude are what she fluctuates though each day. With no sleep. I don't know if it's her age, her not napping, or baby issues already....or a combo of all three. It's been tough. Something happens that sets her off and she turns into an uncontrollable psycho toddler. She can be very sweet and then instantly it's meltdown time.
On a better note -
Gabi went to the dentist last week, though, and did very well. They put fluoride treatments on, used the water and sucker, and even scraped and polished a few of her teeth. She has ALL of her baby teeth except for one molar to come in still. Crazy.
But then....
And then our house is falling apart.....a couple of months ago our garbage disposal broke but Nick replaced it pretty effortlessly (go him), then our our water heater broke and we had to replace, we had birds living and making nests in our attic and vents so over $200 to get those idiots out and clean up after them, and now our fridge is continuously leaking brown water out the bottom. Awesome! Oh well, nothing too major I guess. On the bright side Nick and I are getting our new bedroom furniture this Friday! I think that it is hilarious that we either agree easily completely agree on big decisions or we are complete opposites.
We walked in the furniture store and saw the set and were done. That's what we were getting. It was perfect. Loved the way it looked; loved the storage and functionality of it. Done!

Riding bikes with dad!
She decorated herself....bows and all
She plays her yellow B like a guitar....just like Kiki. She "plucks it" and "strums it"
She wore her bracelet that I got her for her first birthday [for the first time] out to dinner last week
