Summer Time

Today I took lil' Miss Lillian to the pool today with our friends Sarah and Bella. We had a great time! The WB pool is free to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5-7pm which is more then enough time for an almost 2 year old. Spending quality time with my daughter is one of the best gifts.....being able to also share some mom time with a good friend and also a mom of a 2 year old girl made it even better!
Lillian was already tired when we left the pool but she found her last little bit of energy to spend playing with her cousins! So now, she is actually a sleep in her bed in her room! This is very exciting for us. Lillian used to have a perfect bedtime routine.... we would read her book kiss her goodnight, and turn on her fish tank. She would then go to sleep in her crib.......that all changed the day she learned how to climb out of her crib! Being first time parents to a now very mobile climber we freaked out! We moved her into (the cutest) toddler bed..........here was the problem she is scared to sleep in the bed...and she knows she can get out...so we did the unthinkable.....yep....bad idea....we let her sleep in our bed! Now we are facing the challenge to get her cute little butt back to sleeping in her own bed in her own room!  I attempted this a few nights ago and she slept in her own room for about an hour and then woke up with loads of energy!  At midnight I gave up.....she won....fight over!  Tonight it looks like my weapons (swimming & cousins) are helping me win the fight- she has been a sleep in her bed for over 2 hours now! Just to be on the safe side I should try and get some sleep without Lillian :)
