Rub a Dub Dub



Sorry for the lack of blogging, but the Bernhardt-Peterson's have been awfully busy with a stinker of an 18-month-old. She has been acting like a little terror as of late - most likely due to the fact that she has headed back to daycare with the start of school. Of course, she's already sick - she had diarrhea after the first 3 days and a runny nose after the first 4. She hasn't been sleeping at home or at daycare, for the most part, and she has thrown at least one major tantrum every day since going back. As usual, she's a perfect angel when with anyone else, but she is definitely punishing her mommy and daddy. I guess I shouldn't say "with anyone else" because even the daycare ladies have told me she's been in a couple grumpy moods. She still won't go to the toddler room in the morning. When she left in the spring, she was still in the baby room, and she just won't move onto the next phase. She cries the second we walk past her old room, but she's fine if I drop her off with Miss Kate and the babies. It's been so cute to pick her up the last couple of times, though, because she's been outside playing on the playground and she gets to hang with her big cousin Sadie for a little bit while both groups are out there. Sadie is always holding her hand, taking her around with the big kids (cousin Mikaylea included). What a nice, big extended family she has.

Just remember: "this, too, shall pass". She is just so bright and so aware - and she has had you ALL TO HERSELF all summer. There is bound to be a period of adjustment and transitioning. And, she's almost that infamous "2"! She is so lucky to have such loving and understanding parents! Hugs & kisses from Gram & Gramps!
