Remember me telling you there were some crafts I would have liked to get done with the girls yesterday? Well.... let's just say that didn't happen. We didn't get out of our pj's all day and didn't get showers until last night. And we enjoyed every minute of it. Some days you just need to "waller". That's a good southern word, huh?
Tuesday afternoon when I picked Graisi up from camp her hair was french braided down both sides. When I took it down yesterday morning it was extremely wavy. So after she washed it last night I had to redo it before she went to bed. She thinks it's sooo cool to have her hair look like that. It really is cute, but it doesn't look like my baby that way.
Alli Claire was HIGH MAINTENANCE all day yesterday which was one reason we didn't want to do anything. If she wasn't wanting us to hold her she was into the trash cans, cookbooks, plug outlets, etc. You get the picture? This seems to be the scenario since she was born. I talked to my sister-in-law, Janet who also has one of these children. She has given me NO hope. Graisi did not prepare us well. Have you ever heard of a baby/child that was too good? Well that was Graisi.
Hello World, here comes Alli Claire and she's coming at you full steam ahead.

Ha! I have a friend who had a "perfect" baby her first time around. She was always a little smug about how much sleep she got, how her child never acted out in public, etc. Let's just say that Maddie was my "spirited" child and I always felt like a nincompoop in relation to my friend. Well, my friend just had her second and he is 10 times worse than Alli Claire could ever be! The poor girl had no idea what hit her. I feel bad for her, but I also am relieved to see that how our kids turn out is sometimes related to their individual personalities (starting at birth) and not always our lack of parenting skills. :)
I have a feeling my parenting skills will be thrown to pot with Alli Claire. Graisi was soo good and was very similar to your friend. We got lots of sleep, she didn't pitch "many" tantrums in public, she was very well behaved and had/has polite manners. I think I'm going to have many embarrasing moments ahead of me so I better just get prepared. I have a new outlook on those parents who's children misbehave and they look bewildered when I glare at them. I'm about to be in their same boat. So I won't think badly of you if you won't think badly of me :o) I painfully understand now....
