A HUGE Accomplishment!!!!

So, last night I put Maddie to bed in her "big girl" bed and said good night and walked out and closed the door. I thought for sure she would get out of bed, but she didn't!!!!!! She actually went to sleep and slept through the whole night without getting up. This is so awesome!!!! I can get rid of that ugly crib and make her room really cute now!!!! Woo Hooo!!!!!

Pleeeeaaaaase stop crying!!!!

On a positive note, Maddie actually slept in her toddler bed for the first time at night. I was getting really excited thinking we could get rid of her crib really soon. But of course, she woke up at 1:30 AM and was walking around the house- NOT good. So, we may not be as ready as I thought. I may try again tonight, although she is not feeling well, so maybe not a good idea.

She has the last bottom 2 teeth cutting in and she is cranky as hell. I picked her up from daycare and she cried for 2 hours straight! I was about to loose my mind. My parents came to get her, thank goodness because I was about to loose it!

I did yoga at Huguley for the first time with Lisa. I didn't really like it, it was a little too slow for me. I am skipping out on dance class because I am exhaused from no sleep last night.

Yes, I'm a looser!

OK, this is pathetic. I have not posted in my blog in like a year. I am so pissed at myself. My intention was to document every moment of Maddie's life and share with everyone and all that good stuff. Well, like I said, I'm a looser. Also, just incredibly busy. A lot has happened. We finally took the plunge and made the scary move back to Ft. Worth. Well, so far so good. It kind of sucks that Rob has such a ridiculously long commute to work every day, but other than that, all is wonderful.

I guess I got inspired to write again because today is the first cold day we've had and I'm getting all psyched up for fall and the hoilidays and all. The weather did my favorite thing today. It started off hot and humid and yucky like always this morning, then the cold front came through about 1pm and you could just fell the temp dropping- it was so cool!

Another cool thing happened today that is so worth writing about. Maddie slept in her toddler bed for the first time!!!!! Yea!!!!!!! Well, she didn't exactly go on her own. I tried to put her down for her usual nap in her crib, but she is not feeling well today and she just screamed her head off for about 45 minutes. Finally I went in there to comfort her. I held her and laid down on her bed with her and she fell asleep within about 5 min. So I carefully and quietly got out of bed thinking she would surely wake up screaming, but she didn't! YES....we finally have success!!!

Now if I could just get her to start sleeping in it at night, maybe, just maybe we might be able to get rid of her ugly crib and make room for all the fun toys Santa is sure to bring for Christmas!!! Gotta do some work for now, but I promise I will start writing again every day (try to anyway)
