4:30 AM breakout

So it was 4:30 this morning when I heard Keren call out “Ben!”  I rushed downstairs so she wouldn’t wake anyone else up at that ridiculous hour and she wasn’t in her room.  Her door was open and she was standing in Talia’s room in the dark.  Talia was sitting up in her bed.  Keren has officially begun climbing out of her crib and we are in hell!!  This morning Talia told me that she was actually calling out “Talia!  Ben!”  and luckily Talia was able to go back to sleep after that lovely wake-up call from her sister.  I, unfortunately, had to bring Keren into bed with me for fear she would jump out again and I didn’t sleep so well the rest of the night, or early morning.

Today, Keren wouldn’t go into her crib for her nap and she also wouldn’t stay in her bed.  The result was a cranky Tammy and  a cranky Keren for the rest of the day.  I am dreading tomorrow’s nap time.  I don’t know what I’m going to get.

The other kids are great.  Ben has to learn a small part for his graduation on Sunday.  He has a pretty good memory and he’s doing a great job learning it.  Talia had her last art class today and she was sad b/c she loves art in school. 

We were supposed to go to the beach today in the afternoon but Talia wanted to go to her friend’s house and Ben didn’t want to go without Talia and I was just too tired so we didn’t go.  Keren was very disappointed!  She was looking forward to it.  I felt bad but I did tell her that if she didn’t sleep we wouldn’t go. I was bluffing at the time but then we really didn’t go.  Ben wound up going to a friend’s house and her mom took them to the park so he had a really nice afternoon.  I was stuck at home with Miss Cranky Keren, not as much fun.  While I was making dinner Jere came by and took Keren for a walk to the mailboxes. Talia was home by that time and tagged along.  Keren fell asleep and was out for the count.  She is lucky she is a cute kid!

Big day of packing tomorrow, yuck!
