Finley's First Dreams!

This morning, after sleeping ALL night, Finley came out and said, "Mommy, I had three dreams last night!"  I doubted if they were real dreams, so I asked her what she remembered.  She said, "The first one you were inside and I went into the garage and started the car."  I asked, "What happened next?"  She said, "I drove myself to school!"  

Then she explained the second dream, "PawPaw was on the deck and he was a garden gnome. He started chasing me and I ran into my bedroom and hid behind the chair.  I grab the bars and he turned me into a gnome too!"  

She forgot the third dream by the time she finished explaining the first two, but boy were those some good dreams! She hasn't reported having dreams up to the this point, so this was adorable to hear! 

Keep having sweet dreams, my girl! 

 

Another Leap

This sweet face is definitely going through another leap.  Her sleep has been terrible - fighting naps, waking up multiple times during the night, etc.  She has been very moody and grumpy during the day and has had multiple meltdowns.  It is so exhausting on so many levels.  Thank goodness she is still entertained by her toys. This means lots of sleeping on my lap or time spent rubbing her back while she's in bed.  

Do I look tired?!  This is my "I got up at 12:50 am and never went back to sleep face."  UGH!  I stayed in Finley's room until 2:30 and then she was up for the day!  Insane.  

Early bath for this tired girl. 

Bubbles for the win!

Earmuffs during shake making:) 

 

Dance Costumes!

Finley got to try on her ballet and hip hop costumes for the spring recital!  OMG, how freaking adorable?! 

She is just so tiny!

 

Martin's Cart, Dishes, Baths

This child is obsessed with the "driving" carts at Martin's.   Thank goodness we found one this morning for grocery shopping! 

Finn has become such a great helper - she loves to do the laundry and dishes with me.  She enjoys washing just her dishes and taking alllll the time to wash them. haha

Lots of dance parties and ball throwing going on in the evenings to try to wear her out!

Early morning coloring means that we didn't sleep much last night. 

A quick trip to Cracker Barrel with Grandma and Mike - ended up being a super long trip and a messed up naptime, but Finley ate her chicken tenders, french fries and biscuit!

I've been trying to save the evening by adding bubbles to our bath time when Daddy is at work.  

Marley boy is 12!

One of the teachers at school fostered some puppies and boy were they cute!  Mrs. Leggett ended up adopting one! 

 

Toddler Time

Picasso tiles have made their way back out of the box and are so much fun!  We've been building houses for little people and animals. 

Saturday, I took Finley to the Frontier Culture Museum for toddler time.  Her best friend from class, Reagan, also joined us.  These two were super cute playing together.  Finley enjoyed her time so much that she had a severe meltdown in the parking lot when it was time to leave.  UGH.  It was awful.  Imagine screaming, kicking, etc. while trying to put her in the carseat.  This is the beginning of a leap I think - sleep is affected as well. 

We went to Kline's after her nap or lack of nap, just to get out of the house! 

Asleep on my lap FINALLY....but boy what a day!
