It’s funny to think that children can literally change overnight – but they’re certainly able to! For months, Avery would go to sleep (or, at least, lay there quietly) when we plunked her down in the crib – but one day, right around the 21-month mark, she started resisting bedtime and naptime. Her new routine – which is probably typical toddler behavior – is to cry or fuss for 15 or 20 minutes and insist that we visit her room at least once or twice. (“It’s a new phase, I guess,” I commented to Q the other day.)<\/p>\n
And another thing: Within the last week or so, Avery has had at least one major crying\/screaming fit a day. To be fair, she was sick over the weekend, and her routine – due to houseguests and Q also being sick – has been a bit off. (Perhaps those things have affected her temperament.) But I still can’t help but wonder where my sweet baby has gone – and feel sentimental for the way things were just a few weeks ago!<\/p>\n
