Bad day

I love this little girl.

But, we had a bad day last week. It seemed everything we did, we butted heads.

This particular bad day, Allie decided to "pass her nap". (There's my red flag.)

Instead of a nap, we agreed upon one hour of quiet time in her room.

But, I quickly realized Allie and I had different definitions of "quiet". It sounded like a herd of elephants up in her room....banging, jumping, dropping, crashing.

Later on in the day she ended up shutting herself in our downstairs toy closet. I tried to talk to her, but she wanted nothing to do with me.

So she shut the door again, only to emerge an hour and a half later after taking a power nap.

We have since had much better days! Today was one of them.

Allie had school this morning, "passed her nap" this afternoon, and had Miss Katelyn come over to play for a bit.

I love you Allie. And even though we may have bad days from time to time....I will always love you and I am so thankful for you.

Bethany - this is such a sweet post. I guess I can totally relate because me and Sydney have "bad" days too...

Your pictures are beautiful.

Yes. I know these days as well. Adam and I butt heads a lot too, but it doesn't mean I love him any less. Days like these help us appreciate the great days that we have with our children.
