Well, things are getting interesting around here with our sweet-little-precious-baby full-on into toddlerhood at 19 months old! Naps are getting pretty tricky since she got a huge bout of confidence in her climbing ability just the other week. Every day this week has gone like the video below. Yes, we have tried many things to try and help her understand that we are in charge, not her, and when we say it's nap time, it's nap time my tired little one. Even going so far as to sit beside her bed and not let her climb out....for almost 2 hours. Did I mention she was screaming and crying that whole time? Yep. Oh and yes, we did try a make-shift "toddler bed" by putting her mattress on the floor and laying with her for a bit. Nope. Too busy, she says. Because we are living in Australia for 1 more month (where did the time go!) and then off to Europe, the real toddler bed will have to wait....and I (mommy talking) have to let go of control for a few months and let her take naps in the stroller or car. She obviously is more strong-willed than me!
On the up-side...she is trying out new words every day. Her favourites : "dee" (dates), "yo-yo" (yogurt), "co co" (cacoa, she helps me bake), "na-owww" (no), "me-mo" (Nemo), and "mo Bee-Ba" (more Simba from Lion King). Oh and "mo baw" (more park).
On to the video! Hopefully the [tiny bit of] crying doesn't get to you!

Sorry...but it made me giggle. Looks like a toddler bed is definitely in her future. Po0r Momma and Daddy! :-)
