Kaelin slept fairly well last night. Which doesn't suprise me since she played hard yesterday. We got up at 9 this morning and she was in a good mood. We ran to Wal-Mart to get some new mouthwash that stains her mouth blue in the hopes it'll help let us brush her teeth better. I also picked up some children's flossers since she'll let us floss her teeth. She did really good in the store and sat in the basket eating popcorn chicken the whole time we were there so I bought her a set of Tinkerbell keys as a treat. At 2 I told her it was time for her nap and we went to her room to sit in the rocking chair. She was out in a few minutes! It's been so nice having her go right to sleep instead of fighting me to stay awake. I'm trying really hard to stick to a schedule and be diligent about where I get her to sleep at. I think I was getting to lax with her routine and letting her sit in the living room with us until she fell asleep was just making it harder on me.
I got dinner started while she napped. I mashed the potatoes and started the chicken marinating. I heard a tiny peep out of Kaelin and she came walking out of her room. She asked to go back to sleep but didn't. I got her a bowl of strawberries and blueberries to snack on. That kid can eat some berries! Her little hands are stained blue! Oops! I took Megan to the high school for an audition and Mike stayed home with Kae. After dinner we went outside and found a frog in Kaelin's rain boot. So I got a little flower pot and buried it in the garden and transplanted the little guy into his new home. Kaelin was pretty excited about that so I had to take a picture of him for her. When we came inside she pranced around in a pair of my shoes. So cute!
