Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

I changed again.

After months of sleeping well and promptly at 8pm every night, almost on command, I now spend about an hour negotiating and pleading and arguing and disagreeing and resisting and yelling and crying and begging and sobbing. It's not fun for me, and I don't think it's fun for the parents either.

I'm just not tired as early, and there's so much to do and think about...now it's really hard to go to sleep!

Things I say a lot: If you ask me to do something I don't want to do, I'll say "No, can't. Can't do it." And I will sadly and solemnly shake my head.

When I don't like something you are saying or doing: "MOMMY, DON'T! DON'T DO IT!" Including, like, after you ask me to put my toys away.

I really like the pirate stories, still. Now there's a zoo boat that we see sometimes, with lots of animals on it, and then we go to the island and find the treasure.

I like the zoo a lot. We've been there with Tory a few times now. I like the monkeys, and the giraffes, but mostly I like the rides. I'm just big enough to go on all of them! 36 inches. I really like going up in the airplane ride with Tory.

The other thing I like is tea parties. Mommy makes peppermint tea with honey, and I put plates and cups and chairs out and then pour the tea. And everybody that comes to the tea party has to wear funny hats. Even the bunnies.
