Rearranging

Monday 10-24-11

The house painter came by today to look at what all needed doing.  The window sill outside Ellie’s room needs some work, so he plans to come back Wednesday to work on it because the weather is supposed to change.  So, I decided to move Ellie’s room around a bit, putting the toddler bed in the spot where the crib is and moving the crib in a temporary spot until we can safely and confidently remove it from the room.  She is still exclusively taking naps in the crib.  I am not ready to tackle that challenge.  Anyway, the rearrangement was a disaster and Ellie (and I) spent another sleep depraved night together.  Up at 11pm, 1am, 3am, 5am, 6:30am.  Somehow Jeff always seems to sleep through the night!?

Ellie knows how to get her shoes on and off.  She seems to like shoes... a lot.  She is always trying to put on whatever shoes are strewn on the floor (usually Mommy's.)  At Walmart, she found an errant sock (new, not old).  She immediately sat down, removed her shoe and tried to get that sock on her foot.  When I finally dragged her off the floor, she found a pair of pants that looked like they might fit.  She sat down, removed her shoes and attempted to get them on.  Then, it was a pair of union style pajamas.  I thought we would never leave!
