Last night, Reagan had yet another melt down before bed time. She seemed to do ok, but as Jim got closer to putting her in bed, she started to cry more and more for me. Eventually he gave up and asked her if she wanted to "sleep next to mama". Hmmm, of course she does.
So they came downstairs to cuddle. At the same time, Madelynn decided she wanted to wake up hungry. Not only that, Reagan was hungry because she didn't eat any dinner. Argh!!! Needless to say, the girls ate and I got frustrated because Reagan would not calm down at all. The crazy fit she had was close to unbearable and neither one of us wanted to deal with it.
She eventually went to sleep on my lap. I tried to watch TV, but was too tired myself and ended up falling asleep sitting up. Ugh. Jim attempted to take her upstairs to her bed, but because she wasn't 100% asleep, she woke up and fought him the whole way up. Nice. She eventually won out (about 3 am). Reagan cried her way into our bed. I was sleeping on the couch. :)
This morning, I woke up with Madelynn. I looked in on Jim and Reagan and they were both fast asleep. They eventually woke up. I was feeding Madelynn when Reagan crawled up on the couch next to me. She leaned over and patted her on the head and said "I love you baby" and just smiled.
Awwww. Totally made up for the evening before.
