such a tired baby

so sami has been going through a minor sleep issue. nothing big at all, but usually she's a champ sleeper, never wakes up, never complains when you put her down. but last week she was up at 4am for some reason, so i went in and tried to calm her down, we sat rocking together, but that lasted about 10min, then she sits back and grunts and smiles at me, which basically means "mom, i'm not going back to bed!" so we were up at 4am. she played nice and she went down around 9am for a nap. billy was working from home that day, so he shot this video while i took jamie to school. she was so tired!

since then she's been a little fussy everytime i put her down, and i've heard her crying in the middle of the night, but it's always just for a minute or so and then she goes back to sleep. i just think she's either teething or discovering her power. hopefully she'll be back to her normal self soon! especially bc i need me some good sleep!

in jamie news, we had a really rough couple weeks with her acting out and not listening. i lost my temper a few times and felt extremely guilty for it. so after that, i decided to make some more changes, just little things, like planning activities so we don't get bored and irritated, but also i started a good behavior chart. this thing has been a great motivator for her. she get so excited to earn stickers for being a big girl. and after so many stickers, she gets special treats and prizes. she has been my sweet girl again lately and i love her so much!
