Is it the weekend yet?

Not that mommys get a day off anyway, but still. Makenna was just crazy tonight. We had a great morning. We went to story time at the library (which she loves) and then to the park afterwards. My mom and my sis and her kids came with us so she got to play with her cousin. Then this other kid comes to play and just runs around everywhere. Makenna decides to run with him and just runs and runs and runs. They have a great time. And then a couple of my friends show up with their kids. That girl was going crazy, she was having so much fun. I was grinning knowing that she was going to have a wonderful nap!! Well, I was dreaming! She didn't sleep one minute. She just sat up in her room singing and yelling and thumping around. And since she didn't have a nap, she was a bear the rest of the evening. There was crying and whining heard all night long. I also think she is a little OCD which makes bedtime a little interesting some nights. We were finally putting her to bed and all is good when not one minute later, she is screaming her head off. I go in there to ask what her problem was and I had left J.J.'s toy in her room. She is so anal about where everything is and if it doesn't belong, she gets upset. I moved her lotion one time to a different shelf and she about flipped out. She has to have her water next to her bed and I mean right next to her bed. It has to be touching!!! Also, her blanket is a pooh blanket and the fuzzy part has to be laying on her (I understand that) but she also has to have pooh's feet up at her head. So, poor pooh has to lay upside down all night. And she is adamant about it. I have no idea why but again, she will flip out if it's not the right way. It gets really frustrating but I just try to go with it. Otherwise I end up with a screaming toddler. I can't complain too much because I'm a little anal myself. I have to have the kitchen table exactly even with the tile. I fuss with it all day long and it is never straight enough for me. And the chairs have to be even and straight. I know....weird and that is probably where Makenna gets it. It can just be a little tiring sometimes;)

Oh man, Hayden and Chloe both have ocd issues like that. Hayden is bad!! Chloe used to be, but has grown out of it! Not fun! I love your new quote, too funny!

Makenna nearly ran herself into the ground. I am surprised she didn't nap. Although when a baby gets overly tired they get fussy and can't relax, so she was probably not able to relax enough to fall asleep. Makenna is so smart, she doesn't forget anything. We were drawing a picture of her room one day and she could tell me what was in there and where it was. Not to mention what her mommy said six months ago.
