learning to be the mother of a toddler

It seems that Lyla's "bad" behavior at daycare was an isolated event. I've been calling once a day to check on her, and her babysitter says she is back to her normal sweet happy self. She is very happy when I pick her up and does not seem bored al all. I guess we all have all bad days and she is allowed to have hers LOL. On the sleep front we have been making progress, baby steps , but I am counting my blessings. She completely stopped taking the "middle of the night" drink. She is putting herself to sleep again and sleeps where she is suppose to be : her crib!!!!! She still wakes up a million times upset that she is there alone, it is very tiring having to wake up so many times, but I will keep up with the sleeping training. Yesterday she actually slept 6 uninterrupted hours. It was bliss, I woke up like a new woman. If somebody does not know better would think talking about a newborn LOL this baby to toddler transition is not easy and it seems that I having to learn everything all over again. I love having a toddler though, she interacts with me much more now, in a more intentional way. If ask for a hug, she gives me one big bear hug, if I ask e for a kiss, she blows the sweetest kisses, she gets my jokes, selects the books she wants to "read", walks, runs, dances... I love driving and looking at the mirror and seeing her there, I love her to pieces!!!! we are both changing and learning.

look at her wearing a special hat made by her great grandmother , came all the way from Brazil just for her!!!!!!!
