Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think it has passed! For about 3 days now, Riley has been back to her old great napper/going to beder! I was already being very consistant with her and everytime after her one warning, she would get a spanking...it just sucked to have to do that. I just wanted to see if anyone had a different alternative, but it worked! I am sure it will happen again sometime, so at least now I know that if I just keep being consistant that it will pass!
Anyways, here are some of the things the girls are doing these days. Riley, she just had a doc appt last week and has grown 3 inches and gained 5 lbs in the last 3 months. She is officially 3 feet tall and weighs 30 lbs! She is becoming more and more motherly. She is very nurturing and sweet. Sometimes I lay with her for a minute in bed before naptime and everytime, she will rub my face and say, "Mom, you're so pretty" or "You're cute, mom!" or "I love you, mom!" Also, if Aydia cries or falls down or whines, Riley will bend down to her (which is like 3 inches!) and say, "Are you ok?" or "What's wrong, sweetie?" It is pretty much the cutest sweetest thing ever! Also, I think she would be great at gymnastics! She is always doing some crazy jump move or something and the other day on the Olympics, she was watching the gymnists and said, "Wow, I want to do that sometime!" I have thought for a while that I wanted to put her in gymnastics eventually, but definitely am going to!
Now on to Aydia...she is beginning to say really clear words and even sentences! The other day at dinner, she said, "I want some more!" The clearest sentence ever! She also says things that she sees a lot like, "I see you, mommy" or "I see ball!" She is also learning how to obey! I think she is doing pretty well for her age. Since she is around Riley and the other 2 year old that we live with, she sees a lot of hitting, pushing, screaming...and more! So, she is doing it also, just because it gets done to her and so I have had to start time-outs for her. Yesterday, I told her that she was going to need to go to time-out and she took herself there...and was REALLY proud of herself and laughed and smiled the whole time in time-out! It was hilarious! Aydia also wears the same size clothes that Riley does! She is chunky and cute! Sorry there are no pictures, we are house sitting, so I will have to get some up next time!

glad sleep has come once again. :) Thats the thing about phases; they come and then before you can remember what it was you were struggling with they are gone. ;)
