Ainslee recently celebrated her 2nd birthday, complete with family, friends, and cake. And it's as if in a light switch, my laid back little sweetheart has turn into quite the little. . . . shit.
Alex and Laura started school yesterday, so in an attempt to get them rested up for the busy couple of days ahead of them they all laid down for naps at the start of the week. That is, everyone except for Ainslee. Since Monday she's been practicing to climb out of her crib in record time because from my estimate I'm guessing it takes her less than a minute. So I thought to myself, no big deal-just put the baby gate up and consistently put her back into bed, right?
Well for the fun of it, Ains decided to start taking her diaper off in conjunction with climbing out of her crib. Complete with unplugging her white noise machine and setting her music box over, and over, and over. And then when I put everything that was within reach on the floor up-she took all of her clothes out of her dresser, every last item. . . . Today I not only got handed a diaper, but a diaper with a turd in it. And that baby gate, scaled quicker than her crib!
We're getting closer to not just one crossroad, but two: almost time for a big girl bed, and hard core potty training. Alex is a champion sleeper, and Laura pretty much potty trained herself-but I think I'm going to have to work on this one!
So you can imagine how no naps+later bedtimes+earlier wake time=lots of screaming, crying, and hitting. Uh, you don't want to be around our house come 6 p.m. Apparently she didn't get the memo that between the other kids starting school, her schedule getting wonked as a result, my school, oh and mom banning diet soda from her at home diet-now isn't the time to create a new personality;).
At her 2 year well check she measured in at 32" tall, and 21 lbs. A very healthy, happy, and sassy little girl.
