Friday night we helped Kate celebrate her 2nd birthday! Candice picked a "night at the movies" theme and it was sooo cute! They had a huge screen set up in the backyard so after it got dark we could watch a movie outside. It had been beautiful weather all day and right as the party started, it started raining. :( They brought the screen in and the kids still got to enjoy Tinkerbell. Candice had bags of popcorn for the kids and a whole candy bar set up for the adults!

So, these are the only things occupying Alex's bed at the moment. She is still sleeping on the floor, but we have to make sure Piggy, Popi, Bean and Mono are all sitting at the edge of the bed watching over her. Naps are still totally hit or miss. If she naps, it's usually not until 3ish and that is after trying for 2 hours to get her to go down. I've noticed her attitude has changed since her sleep issues started. She is throwing more and more tantrums, she is cranky and gets totally out of sorts at the smallest things. At lunch yesterday, she actually got frustrated and threw a chip at Josh. I decided we need to get the sleep issues under control because it is making Alex a different child. I am totally fine if she is ready to drop her nap, but we have to work on her getting a good night sleep. She is still waking up at some point almost every night screaming and crying. I was flipping through a book on toddler and pre-school sleep issues at B&N the other day that I am going to buy this week. We need some changes in our house, I am at wits end!
