Night Out

Poor little Kaycee. She has been going through this stage where she has to have mom and dad all of the time. Last night I talked to her and said how mom and dad were going out for a little while and she was going to play at Megan's house. She was sad but I finally got her to settle down. Well, as we dropped her off she was a little hesitant but excited too, until I took the time to give Megan Isaac's cell phone number. It hit her that we were not staying with her and she broke down. We assured her that we would be back before her Chipmunk movie was over and led her inside.

We went to the Scholarship and Awards Program and got back exactly when her movie was over. Pretty good timing. We ended up having to leave early though because we thought it would only be about an hour to an hour and a half. We didn't realize that there were like 179 awards. We had to leave on number 100. It was a nice little date for Isaac and me. We haven't been on a date for a long time. It was nice.

When we got back she was dressed in a whole new outfit. She had an accident. This totally shocked me because she has done so well for a long time. I think she was overly tired and very sad. I guess she cried on and off. She was sitting on her feet on the couch and maybe her feet fell asleep and she didn't realize she had to go, I don't know. All I know is that she was upset that she had the accident but very excited that she got to wear Bella's pajamas and panties. That is all she talked about. It made everything better that she got to wear her friends PJ's. I don't know about this crying and whining. I guess it is just another stage, but it feels like we just got over this clingy, whinny stage. All I can do is be patient and loving. I feel bad because she wants me to carry her everywhere too and I can't. I can't wait for this stage to pass but I hope she stays my little sweet girl who needs me, but is not needy, if that makes sense.

Oh, I made the assumption that she was overly tired because she woke up very early today, ran around all day without a nap and kept walking into walls. She went in to go use the potty before getting into bed and ran right into the frame. It split her forehead open and put a huge welt on the side of her face. It doesn't look as bad in the picture but she hit pretty hard. She is posing in Bella's PJs by the door frame that she ran into.
