Wild Weekend

Friday night was rather uneventful. Lauren went to bed about 7:15 and to our amazement STAYED IN HER BED! This was the first time since we put her in her big girl bed...14 days! So she earned herself another star and was one more away from her reward (we would take her out for ice cream)

She was having a beach picnic with Dora and her frogs.

Saturday we had nice weather....a little one the windy side. I ran some errands in the morning while Jas took Lauren for a nice long wagon ride through the neighborhood. Later in the day (after no nap) we took her to the park so she could play and swing. My parents stopped over that evening and took her out for dinner. Nighttime came and she was asleep within 10 minutes. She earned her 5th star!!! And boy was she proud!

Does she look like an Ethel or a Myrtle?

I realized looking at this picture..I dressed Lauren like a nurse last week.

Sunday...a busy day of fun. In the morning we headed over to my friend's house in Stoughton to walk around the Sytendee Mai (sp?) She has a daughter the same age as Lauren. So we put the girls in the wagon and walked downtown and spent a few hours watching people and sampling a few tasty treats (cheese curds, corn, etc.)

Lauren and I headed home about noon and I got her some lunch. Again no nap for her, so I took her to my brother's house to play on their Rainbow Playsystem. We spent a couple hours there and then picked up daddy and headed to a local diner for some ice cream. Lauren was sooo excited and she picked Chocolate Chip for her flavor.

Fast forward to nighttime...she was beat! I was too! Do you think we had a 3rd night in a row of staying in bed and going right to sleep??

NO! The gate had to be put up and she took about 1.5 hours to settle down and sleep. Apparently getting her prize caused her to revert back. Who knew? LOL!
