We decided yesterday to try and see how eliminating naps would affect bedtime. I can honestly say that bedtime went better but the afternoon/evening was a little tougher. Kiley & Kara get cranky if they miss naps! We'll see if this trend is something to continue or if it is too much work!
Yesterday we did quite the flurry of activities. Played tag in the backyard, went to the park, went on a walk... then later after Tom went to work the girls and I cleaned up the living room, I chased them around with the vacuum for awhile and then we played hide and seek. It is so much fun! I count to ten and they all scramble... Abby cannot contain her excitement and giggles the entire time she is hiding... so I pretend that i can't find her and she will laugh and laugh. Then after I find her it is her turn. Kiley and Kara are even starting to figure the game out and were sometimes better at finding me then Abby! Then we all read books together on the living room floor, each got to pick a book they wanted to read, Kara is really into reading right now and it's nice to see that they are all getting better at sitting and reading a story. We will have to read more!
The evening was going well, the house was clean, we had played and laughed together before bedtime... Kiley and Kara were asleep so I let abby leave her bed for awhile since she wasn't as tired as the other two. She helped me with the sick puppy and played for awhile. Then I told her it was time for bed, she balked of course so we talked about preschool. Still no luck. She went a little crazy and tried to run away, I grabbed her hand and she pulled back hard. She was still fighting me so I picked her up and put her into bed. She told me her arm hurt... and wouldn't stop crying. At first I thought she was just upset because she had to go to bed because she kept telling me she wanted a different doll then the one I would bring. But I soon realized it did hurt...
And I feel SO BAD... I gave her ice, and ibuprofen but she woke up twice last night crying. So we will have to go into the doctor today to get it checked out. And she is upset because she wants to go to school. So I'm waiting to call in 10 minutes, as soon as the office opens so that I can get an appt as soon as possible in the morning in case she can still go...
Ugh... I cried myself to sleep last night I felt so bad. I really didn't mean to have her get hurt! Hoping that her arm isn't hurt too badly... will update later with how it goes...
