Today is Saturday.....
Our week is coming to an end, and here is how Landry spent most of her day.
Yep, that's right, on the floor. Since we did not get much sleep last night, Landry was EXTREMELY tired. We would be on our merry way, just walking around the conference and Landry would suddenly throw herself on the floor and lay there for a while. This happened about every 5 minutes or so.
But she did look totally cute in her Tiger's cheerleading outfit. She got lots of attention from college students. Some she was not too sure about.
This was her in mid-sprint when she realized she was surrounded by strangers.
There was also a small play area in the church and we stopped to play for a minute.
After lunch, Landry and I headed back to the hotel room in hopes that she would take a nice long nap. She fell asleep before we even left the parking lot, but woke up when I was transferring her from the car to our hotel room. She decided she wasn't tired after all.
After letting her play for a little while and giving her a bath, I laid down in the bed with her once more, pretty much re-living the night before. I finally had to "tackle" her onto the bed and hold her down for a while until she was still enough to fall asleep. Sounds mean, I know, but I knew she needed sleep and was not giving up until she got it.
She slept until it was dinner time. We went and met Cory and all the college students for supper at the mall food court. Landry ate a wonderful combination of pizza and green beans, and then she got to ride the carousel. I have lots of pictures, but Cory has the camera for now so I'll have to post those tomorrow.
Tonight, we left the conference around 10:00 again. But when we got to the hotel, something amazing happened. I changed Landry into her P.J.s and brushed her teeth. And even though minutes earlier, she was wound-up, walking around with my bra around her neck, she laid with me in the bed and did not move a muscle. She was asleep within minutes. Thank you Jesus!
What a week!!!

Oh Amber, I've had my days during nap when Daniel didn't want to sleep & I literally had to do that to get him to sleep. So I know how you feel. It is a terrible feeling but then again you think this child will have a tantrum later on if (s)he doesn't take a good nap. Now that he is older I have to "trick" him to take a nap. We have actually not taken naps at home at all so that he'll fall asleep earlier so I can study. He does take a nap though all by himself on days that he can & we let him sleep.
Hope it was just a different enviroment & not a new trend for her.
The pictures of Landry are so cute! Are you going to post any of a "baby bump" soon-that is if you have one!
Thank you for sharing your week with us all.
