What a week.....

This is Charli and Dan doing her first at home nebulizer treatment. She really handled them well. I didn't think she'd like the mask, but that's what she preferred. We did these twice a day for about a week. She's doing very well now. Our last treatment was Tuesday night June 2. Yeah.



Then last week on Wednesday when I picked Charli up from school, she was soooo excited. She took off running in the parking lot. And of course being a toddler, she was going faster than her feet. She fell in the parking lot and got a very small skinned knee. She calls it her "owie". Mind you the picture isn't overly clear as she was very wiggley. But it's on her right knee, hence the darker spot. She still points to it every day and says, "owie". And I tell her it's all better now. She's a funny kid.


And this is by far my favorite part of the whole week. Our friend Deb Mullen is the queen of garage sales. I had asked her to keep an eye out for a solid wood toddler bed for me. She found one on Thursday. Papa brought it over to our house and then he and I took down the crib and put it in her room. My mom, dad and I all made a big deal about the "big girl" bed. She slept in it Thursday night. She woke at about 1:00AM. I made the mistake of picking her up. She then came back to my room and bed. But from that night on, I would go talk to her or pat her back when she woke and she'd go back to sleep. She LOVES her big girl bed. She likes to play on it when we're in her room and when I tell someone about it she gets all smiley. It's been only 7 nights but so far so good. She used to ask to go, "NahNee" (night night) after reading a few books but now she gets all excited when she asks to go "nahnee" It's really cute. And it's been great to have my bed back. I also think she has a greater sense of attachement to this bed already than she ever did with her crib. WooHoo!!!! It's been a good week.
(P.S. this is kind of dark even though I turned on her light but I didn't want to get too close as she hadn't been asleep for too long. I'm sure my friend Juli can give me some pointers on better picture taking :-) and of course a new camera may be in order too)

Wow! what a big girl! So glad that the toddler bed has worked out for you. I'm very torn about getting Louie moved. He's still loving his crib and not climbing out of it and he's almost 3 . . .
He's asked a couple times, since he's almost mastered potty training!
That will be next on your agenda!
See you Saturday. I'll bring your signing time DVD's and also so clothes.

We're Home!!!
