It seems as though my girls are having growth spurts. Or, at least that's the standard reason for why they want to be up all hours of the night. Kailey has required a date at least 2 times each night the last few evenings. I know she should be past snacking in the middle of the night, but, she just screams and cries unless I feed her. I'm not that sure she's getting enough to eat in the evenings, and I've been supplementing, but that's not quite doing it. Here's to hoping this is just a phase.
Ellie, on the other hand, I just don't know. A few mornings ago, she woke up sobbing at around 5 am. Matt got up and went to check on her, Kailey and I were sacked out in bed, trying to catch a few minutes of sleep that we didn't get overnight. So I hear her crying and repeating the same thing over and over. It doesn't sound quite right, so I get up and go check on her. Sure enough, she's saying exactly what I thought..
"I want Baby Alive! I want Baby Alive!"
Now she did have this on her christmas list, but no one got it for her. Apparently, she is crushed. So, I told her we'd save our money and buy her. She has a chore chart that she is diligently working on in order to earn enough money for Baby Alive. This thing better be great, as much as she keeps asking for it.
Then, yesterday night, about 10:45, I'm getting ready to go up to bed. And here she comes, down the stairs, completely dressed, hair done, music shut off in her room. And ready for her day. Only problem was, it was still the night, and we hadn't gone to bed yet. She apparently woke up and got confused.
Today at school, she got clocked by some hard plastic toy. She has a fancy shiner on her eye. I hope it doesn't swell too much. She didn't seem too phased by it, just complaining of a bit of soreness. But I'm pretty sure that's gonna look quite pretty by morning.

I so know what you are talking about. Kaden has done the same thing when he wanted a certain item. Kinda like the talkin parrott from Santa that he has not touched since Christmas. And it has to stay on the kitchen table as it would scare him in his room he says. Good thing Mommy saved the box. lol. Kaden got hurt at school yesterday during recess apparently playing with some kid. He has a cut on his nose and a lump and scrape on his forehead. Last year in preschool he got hit in the eye with a wooden block and had a black eye. Did we get hurt this much in school?
