I think she figured us out

Ever since she got her bed, Ryanne has been convinced that she can't get out of it without one of us present. This was great because it gave her time to wake up and she'd sing-song calling us when she was ready, plus she went to bed quickly because she wasn't up playing.

She's walked out into the hallway a couple of times if she's heard us downstairs, but it's been few and far between.

Last night, she was up playing with all of her toys instead of going to bed (again, stupid daylight savings). This morning, I heard toys and then she walked into my room.

I think the sanctity of the bed may be broken...

Her name

Ryanne has started being able to copy her name from a source. She did it on her chalkboard after bringing home a piece of paper from school with a few copies. The "NNE" is relatively clear. The "RYA" is hit or miss since those tails can get kind of out of control. I just can't believe she's writing.

The hitting

I am so tired of the hitting, kicking, throwing stuff around. I realize that this is yet another normal phase, but AHHHHHHHH I am so tired of being hit or having Corin hit just because she's frustrated.

My head hurts. Turns out that a 3 year old's purse is pretty heavy.

Radio

We had no clock in Corin's room. We had one clock in Ryanne's room - a buzzer style alarm. We had two clocks in ours - the one that projects on the ceiling and the clock radio. We also have a mini stereo with a clock in it that we typically use for radio, but not for clock.

I wanted a clock in Corin's room. We decided it would be a real treat for Ryanne to move her clock into C's room and put the clock radio in her room. She knows how to operate the clock radio. She likes leaving music on for daddy.

Today, Chrys put it in there.

Tonight, she's still awake and the radio is on. She keeps playing with it.

Yeah, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the stupid daylight savings time. It's the radio. I'm sure of it.

Brothers are gross

Ryanne has major issues with any bodily fluid coming from Corin.

He drools on her toys. She gags.
He spits up on the floor. She gags.
He spits up on her. She starts heaving.
She watches Chrys change a particularly nasty diaper. She starts gagging AND heaving.

Thankfully, she has never followed through and thrown up because of something he did. I am sure it will happen someday.

Why is it that she can't turn away or wipe it off and move on? That would make my life too easy, wouldn't it?
