Mommy of a "Big Girl":)

So this past Friday was Ava's first night in a "big girl bed".  Roger and I bought a bed rail and he and Ava worked together to attach it to her reconfigured crib.  She absolutely loved it!  In fact, she wanted to just lie in it, completely avoiding her bedtime routine. It was so cute:) So here we on a Monday, and so far, so good!  She stays in her bed until she falls asleep and she WAS being good about staying in her bed in the morning.  This morning being the exception.  Roger went to work at 6:30, and he woke her up.  I changed her diaper and told her that it was still night-night time and that she needed to go back to sleep.  I went back to bed and pulled the covers over my head at 6:40.  At approximately 7:30, I heard a shrill and panicked scream, "Daaadddy! Where are you? Dadddy, Dadddy!!!" and she came bursting into our bedroom running around our bed screaming for Roger.  Ughh...so we will see what she does tomorrow morning, who knows, maybe this morning was a one time thing?  It's just so weird now, being the mom of a crazy, smart two-year old.  She just turned two and she knows her colors, shapes (even hexagon, octagon, and oval!), ABC's, she can count to 14, tell stories, recount events, and repeat everything she hears!  I would like to take some credit because I taught her most of it (mom brag), but I can't take any credit for how effortlessly she has made it all look.  She is absolutely amazing! 

Right now, Roger and Ava have taken off to the mall.  I am so exhausted, going to the mall was the last thing that I wanted to do, so I am here with my sleeping baby, typing away.  Today also marks day something or other that I haven't been on Facebook!  How freeing...except I do still think about it as soon as one of the kids is sleeping.  So what did I do today to replace my addiction?  I did some laundry, cleaned the kitchen a bit, went outside so that Ava could play in the snow, made a salad, nursed a baby, played with Ava some more, started reading a self-help book...basically acted like a very boring 30-something with two little ones.  How did that happen?  I don't know.  But I am okay with it.  I hope it stays this way for awhile.  I like it.
