We have had a good week. Carmen did fairly well at school, but didn't nap, so I picked her up early and napped her here at home. Today when I took her, she didn't even cry when I left - such an improvement!! But then she still didn't nap there. She decided that she wanted to colour in instead, so for the sake of peace and letting the other kids sleep, they let her. This meant that this evening I had to deal with a toddler who for the first time had missed her nap. She was fine until shower time, then she turned into a total monster. She threw the worst tantrum I have ever seen! She didn't want to take her jacket off, then she didn't want to get in the shower, then she clawed at the door the whole time she was in there, then she didn't want to get out of the shower, all the while she was kicking and screaming and slashing and wailing. I gave up and left her in the bathroom, and her dad found her sobbing on the floor. Needless to say, she went to bed early :) She has also caught a cold again.
Anyway, Carmen's Uncle Sting came down for a visit, but we forgot to take any photos. The weather has been lovely, so Carmen has been to different parks, and out for walks too. I am really hoping this mild weather is a foreshadowing of how our winter is going to be!
