Melting Down


Poor Gracyn, afternoon kindergarten has been a rough adjustment for her. You see, she used to be my late sleeper, not waking until around 7:30, but she chose the week Addison started kindergarten to start rising with her early morning sisters by 6:30am every morning. Since she is up with the sun, by around noon, she is really ready for a nap. However, that doesn't work for us right now. We have to leave the house around 12:45 to drop Addison at school, so Gracyn can't go to sleep until 1:15ish when we get home. It hasn't been an easy adjustment for her, and starting around 11am, she looks like this alot of the time. She is just pretty unhappy with the world until she finally gets to bed.
There have been a few days when she falls asleep in the car, gets a 20 minute cat-nap, and then refuses to sleep anymore. On those days, I am the one in tear-full, melt-down mode. Good thing she's not big enough to take my picture!

LOL. I know how that goes. All too well. G started riding the bus home because of it last year. It actually worked out well here. I know it's hard to think of your baby kindergartener on the bus, but it may be worth it. It was for us. :) Had to laugh that she can't take your picture. Too bad. ;0)

Little sugar. She reminds me of Cameron . . . Sleep is critical to Cameron!

Your girls are just beautiful. I can't believe how big they're all getting!
