Well it's my turn to go back to school on Monday. I should have gone in today for the annual freshmen orientation picnic, which I attended the past 5 years, but I woke up feeling rather lousy this morning, which clinched my decision to skip it this year. I am not sure if it's my turn to have a cold or if it's just seasonal allergies, but I woke up with a fierce headache and have needed to have the tissues nearby all day. Nadia woke up at 5:50am so unfortunately my day started an hour earlier than usual. Yesterday she woke up at 6:55am, and that had been the norm lately. As they say that bad sleep follows bad sleep (and good sleep follows good sleep) she didn't nap well At All yesterday so then she got up earlier than usual this morning. Yesterday when I put her down at 9am for her morning nap, she just chattered and played in her crib for 35 minutes until I decided she wasn't going to nap. I thought maybe it's time to switch to one afternoon nap, but by 11am she was so fussy I put her down, and she fell asleep immediately and slept 1 hour. However, she then wouldn't take an afternoon nap at 2pm; she usually gets at least 2 hours of sleep total between her two naps not just one hour. Today she took her usual 90 minute morning nap (8:15-9:45 since she got up so early), but then she played in her crib from 12:15-1:15 instead of napping. Up until yesterday she was still in a good routine of two naps which together lasted 2-3 hours, but maybe she's transitioning to one afternoon nap?
Another sign that summer is over is that today the weather feels like fall (it's 65 degrees right now). I know it will get warm again; it's very unusual for it to be this cool in August. However it definitely feels like fall outside. I realized when I tried to get Nadia dressed in warmer clothes that I needed to do an inventory of her fall/winter clothes. I tried on a few tops/pants I had purchased on clearance many months ago. The size 18 month tops fit her just fine, but the 18 month pants are too big. I did purchase several size 12 month fleece pants that she hadn't worn yet; so she can use those this fall. I am sure sometime over the course of the winter she'll grow into the 18 month pants. Size 12 month dresses are already too small. She can wear size 18-24 month dresses, but I found out I only purchased one long sleeve dress in those sizes - and it's a Christmas dress. I have several really dressy winter dresses in those sizes (short sleeved), but she definitely needs a few long sleeve dresses. She also needs socks. She hasn't worn any for a few months, and the ones she wore last spring are way too small, and she needs a pair of every day shoes as it won't be sandal weather much longer. The outfit she's wearing today (for the first time) is size 12 months. The short sleeved shirt is a bit too small, but the jacket and pants fit. It doesn't look right with sandals though. She needs her first pair of sneakers I do believe! She just wore the shirt around the house, but for our venture out to go shopping she wore the jacket also.
