Today was a very tired day. I’ve had a headache
in my neck, jaw, and head all day and I can’t seem to kick it.
Lex was rambunctious, rebellious, silly, playful, and overtired
all day. He even fell asleep in his highchair at lunch!! I kid
you not. The movie below would have been perfect if I’d gotten
it about 30 seconds earlier when he was still trying to lift
his yogurt spoon into his mouth… as he fell asleep.

Tonight ended in a showdown. Lex started screeching for no
apparent reason. He is hard to discipline sometimes because
he’ll do something you don’t want him to (screech at the top of
his lungs) then immediately go back to adorable mode. He
screeched in the tub, I asked him if he wanted to have a nice,
quiet bath or get right out of the tub… he screeched again,
so out of the tub he went. Same situation on the changing table
and in the bathroom trying to brush teeth. I had to pin him
down to get those pearly whites peanut buttter-free tonight! It
came down to a choice between bedtime stories and more
screeching… needless to say he is in his crib now and very,
very angry. It sucks. We had to put him in the crib because he
wouldn’t stay in the toddler bed. I ended up in my bed crying
right along with him. A good time was had by all :/

I know I can chalk the whole thing up to
“overtired toddler” but that doesn’t make it any easier
really….

Alan just went up to give him
a hug again and Lex asked to sleep in his new bed, so Alan
moved him. Now he’s up there playing with his doggie (it’s a
music box toy, he loves it) and yawning. I think he’ll be out
in a minute. I hope!!

I’m going to go
crash on the couch now. Maybe the headache will finally go
away…
