Thursday, April 29th

Today was a pretty normal day. Kara woke up early (like two hours early) because she was soaking wet (her overnight diaper was full and overflowing down her legs - lovely!). After changing her sheets and doing extra laundry, she and I started getting ready for the day. We both had dentist appointments. After that we went to Target to get more socks, underwear, and a nightgown for Kara, not to mention a few cute things that were super cheap. (I am having the hardest time finding nightgowns - all I see are pjs, so I'm buying them $16 a piece - yikes!) Then we had lunch with my mom and sister where Kara began.......the meltdown. By this time it was 12:30 and I remembered she woke up too early this morning. Yikes. I shoved down the most delicious lunch I've had in a while, and high tailed it out of there! She cried the whole way home about something she was disappointed about, but was no big deal. I talked her off a ledge and she was much better by the time we got home. One regular nap later, she's herself again and bouncing off the walls. I know the lazy teenage years will be annoying and I'll miss these years when she's little, but the idea of her laying in her room quietly sound SO good right about now. :-) Why can't we jump back and forth? Wouldn't that be nice? Baby years, toddler years, teen years, preteen years - skip around?
