Thursday:

I really would like my kids to co-sleep. I think it would make all our lives easier. For whatever reason, they won't. Either of them. They just don't sleep. Annabelle woke up a few times, and after about half an hour of trying to get her back down, I brought her in bed with me. One would think she would sleep, all cuddly next to Mom, but no. She wiggled, sat up, crawled around, laid down, cooed, gabbered, and at one point kicked me in the head, which was enough for me to make the transition back to her bed. She didn't take that nicely. It wasn't long till we were trying it again, and finally, with Dad cuddly next to her, she fell asleep. Then Liam came in and there truly wasn't enough room for all of us in the positions we were sleeping in. So I moved her back to her bed, which she slept the rest of the night.

At nap today, I thought she would sleep long, but she woke up in a great mood and we played for about an hour together while we waited for Liam to wake up. She is really into Liam's farm with the cow, goat, horse, farmers, etc. She likes to put them in the silo and then open the door on the bottom to take them out. She also is super into trucks. She will crawl around with one in hand rolling it as she goes. It's quite cute. Liam has one of those big rig trucks that carries other cars, and she likes to put cars in that as well. Also other toys. When Liam woke, he joined us, and then once Annabelle started destroying our block city for our cars, we headed out to run some errands before a fight started. They each took their car with them.
