I’m not sure why, but my child decided to boycott her naps today. I guess she thought she didn’t need them. Maybe she just wanted to soak it all in today and didn’t want to miss a moment. Whatever the reason may be, I am here to let you know that might not have been a wise decision on her part.
She finally crashed after dinner and slept for about an hour. Before her after dinner siesta, she wasn’t fussy or irritable. I could just tell she was tired. Mommy just knows. After her little snooze, now that was a different story. She was happy as long as Mommy was holding her. The minute I would put her down she would fuss and whine. Heck, we even saw some real tears in there. She loves her bath, so I figured if anything would make her happy, that definitely would. Boy, was I wrong. That was the saddest bath I have ever seen. There were tears in the bathtub. Seriously!?! Tears? Now by this time, I’m really wondering if she’s not feeling good. Is there a tooth coming in that’s hurting her? What is going on? She is never unhappy for bath time. Never. This has to be something more than just being tired.
A little side note here. CJ went to get milkshakes while I was bathing Haylen. He returned just as I was putting her pj’s on. By the way, she was still unhappy. She cried the whole time I dressed her. I was finally able to get her to stop crying, but she was still just not herself. And, she still would not let me put her down. She finally decided it was okay for us to sit on the couch together. By this time CJ had given me my milkshake and boy was she interested.
I gave her a little sip and I kid you not, it was like she flipped the switch. My whiney, crying, little lump of sadness, turned into the silly, giggly, girl she usually is. One sip. It’s not like I can blame this change on the sugar. One sip. That strawberry milkshake was the magic cure.
These aren’t the best pictures. She was moving, and I was laughing as I was taking them. You can still see her puffy eyes and red nose from her trip to sadsville, but look at that sly little grin! I guess a little strawberry shake goes a long way. Apparently, milkshakes make it all better!
