Random Thoughts

Alex's usual nap time is after lunch around 12:30 pm. Today is different. Her Dada was here since he was on sick leave and was not feeling very well. So before going to nap we played for a while. While Hubby and I were talking, Alex started jumping in our bed. She was so happy and jumped like crazy. So we just let her be (so she'll get tired and then get sleepy afterwards LOL!).

Anyway, after all the jumping and the laughing, we thought that she was ready to sleep so I placed her in her playpen with her new dolly "Timmy". Everything was pretty well until suddenly she bit the hand of her dolly "Timmy". And so I told her not to bite, it's not good, etc...You see, she used to bite me too and then I'd get a looot of bruises, so I thought that she shouldn't get used to doing it especially to other people.

Anyway, she suddenly CRIED and she cried with TEARS! Wow. I didn't understand why. So, I let her cry for a while then tried to understand what could be the problem. But, after crying, she suddenly smiled. And then, we were ok, I joined her in her playpen (yes, both of us would fit there!), and then she CRIED again. I knew it wasn't an ordinary cry because she has huge tears! But it would last for only a few seconds, then she would look at her Dada, then she would smile, then try to cry again. And it all happened in 30 minutes!

So, I just let it happened like that for 30 minutes until she got tired and then found herself sleepy already. But, until now, I still couldn't understand what happened. LOL! Maybe, I should just focus on the part that she is now sleeping and is ok. Or maybe I'll just let Hubby sleep in a different room during nap time!? LOL. Oh well, I guess Alex is REALLY gearing towards that Terrible Two stage. I better catch a lot of reading about this.

Moms, you have anything to share about that "Terrible Two" stage? Please, please, share! I would really appreciate it! :D
