I feel like recently Micaela has gone through another big cognitive leap as she hurdles headlong into toddlerhood. Her communications with us have become more reciprocal. More meaningful. Her games and imagination more complex. And her movements more refined and agile.
But as exciting and amazing as it is to watch her develop and change. This new phase is keeping us on our toes, testing our patience and has left us searching for strategies.
For the past week or so, our little princess has become increasingly difficult to put down to sleep. She has reached the stage where she is afraid that she will miss something while she sleeps at night. Even though she is physically tired, she keeps trying to continue playing.
She’s not always difficult, and more often than not, her “difficultness” is running around before bed with an infectious giggle and a chase-me-grin plastered across her face. I am having to constantly tell Pablo not to encourage her as he lunges across the bed after her, but then all three of us often end up running after each other around the bedroom. :)
