Fun with Jane

Jane is staying with us for two days while Ashley is helping out her mom in the hospital.  The morning went really well...she got here at 9:00, fell asleep at 10:30, and slept until 2:00!  After she woke up and had lunch, we went to the park.  It's been a long time since I've had a two-year-old to play with at the park!  She's got a lot of energy and loves Jillian and Ben! (Not Matzo so much, though.) 

Everything went well through the day, until bedtime.  She cried for a while and I tried to comfort her and rock her to sleep, but she kept pointing and saying something that I couldn't figure out.  Finally I walked around with her and she pointed to her jacket and wanted it on.  Then she started looking for her boots and started pointing at the door.  I figured out she was saying, "Get me out of here, all ready!"  We laid down in bed together and she eventually fell asleep.  Around 1:00, Jillian brought her in, crying, and I laid her back down in her bed and sat by her for a while until she fell asleep.  At 2:00, I heard her crying again. I went to check on her, but she wasn't in her bed--she was downstairs standing in the kitchen.  Probably trying to make her escape again!  She fell back asleep after about 1/2 an hour and slept until 8:15, and probably would have slept longer if Matzo hadn't gone into the room and woken her up. 

Tif and Mariko came over to play with us today.  It was adorable to see the little girls interact.  We played blocks for a while, then went outside to jump on the trampoline, swing, and explore.  After Tif left, Jane fell asleep...kind of a late nap, though...it's 3:00.  Hopefully she won't sleep for 3 1/2 hours or she'll be up all night!  Her grandma is picking her up tonight, so I won't have to deal with a night owl, but I would feel bad for her grandparents! 










I must admit, a teeny, tiny part of me misses having a 2 year old.  The going to the park, having play groups, smiling, laughing, cuddling, part--not the awake at 2:00 AM, crying, tantrums, changing poopy diapers part!
