Escape Artist

"Escape Artist"...this is Natalie's new nickname at daycare!  Today, when I walked in to get Natalie, I proceeded back to the baby room where 2 other moms and 4 other babies/toddlers were to find the daycare provider that is mostly with Natalie was in the room with the kids that was barricaded by a low bookshelf in the doorway. The reason for this bookshelf being there...Natalie!  Haha! Natalie likes to explore and because she is the most mobile baby, she wants to crawl out to the big kids room to check out what is going on. I'm sure the toddlers escape too, but because they are older, I'm sure it's easier to get them to come back by just calling their names.

Also today at daycare, Natalie refused to take her bottle in the early afternoon (twice)!  She was out of her formula, so I brought a small container (same brand, slightly different mixture I guess) until I could go out and get a larger container to refill her stash at daycare. Luckily, she ate her solids well, and had some diluted juice because they didn't want her to get dehydrated. Then, right before I got there to pick up she finally drank 3 ounces of the new formula. When we got home, she ate the same formula just fine, so I think she was just being a "stinker" earlier in the day!

Trying to escape today at daycare must have worn the girl out :)...she got at quick 5 minute nap in before we arrived home.

So, tonight, Bobby was helping film at a local volleyball game that is a fundraiser for the NICU at the hospital, which means I am home alone with Natalie on the first day we are going to attempt to not allow her to take a nap in the evening. We are hoping this will help her sleeping habits and fussiness in the evenings. I did a really good job until 7p.

Fell asleep with Pooh (or Piglet)...Pooh dressed as Piglet :)

No evening naptime...FAIL!

Well, time to wake the baby up...20 minute nap won't do too much damage...I HOPE!!!!
