Whoa! Too long!

Dear Libby,
I've been a bad mommy! It's been way too long since I've posted here! We've been so busy the last few months, with Liam starting kindergarten. Things are settling down now, and we're getting into our new routine. I think you're loving all the extra time you get with me alone in the car now. For about the first week after Liam started kindergarten, when I'd pick you up at daycare at the end of the day, you'd go to the big kid side of the playground and wander around and say, "Liam! Liam! Where are you?" It was adorable and heartbreaking at the same time. Now, I think you're finally used to the fact that he isn't there anymore. You love going into his school to pick him up from aftercare. Every day, you run up to him and give him a hug and a kiss. You love your big brother so much.

You started music class a couple weeks ago. You're a bit wild... but you're having so much fun! You love to dance and move, and you definitely aren't a fan of having to sit still at any point. You love playing the musical instruments at each class, and climbing on the climbing equipment at the end.

You are picking up more and more words all the time. I love hearing you say "soccer," and "pizza," and especially when you say your own name and point at yourself.

You are now in the big toddler room all the time at daycare. You love to point our your cubby each morning, and you yell out, "cubby!". I hope that being in that room will help you continue to learn new words.

Your sleep has continued to be, well, terrible most nights. I took you to the doctor a few weeks ago, and he said that nothing's really wrong, and that we should just let you cry it out, since it's just behavioral. But, we aren't doing that. Some nights, you sleep through the night, but many others, you'll be awake for 2-3 hours at a time in the middle of the night. Mommy and Daddy are exhausted... you need to start sleeping, baby girl!

Even though you're killing me with the lack of sleep, you know I love you more than words could ever express. I love you, Libbers.

Love,
Mommy
