Toot Toot, Chugga, Chugga, Big Red Car

I never liked the Wiggles much until Grace came along. The boys never really got into them, so I never cared for them. But Grace LOVES The Wiggles!!! Therefore, I LOVE The Wiggles! When I see her dance and wiggle to their songs, I melt. Is it wrong that the other day I let her stand directly in front of the tv for 3 episodes of The Wiggles??? It is the only guaranteed time I get to be able to leave the room without her crying. She couldn't care less about me when Greg, Anthony, Murray and Jeff are doing their thing! I can actually cook when her 4 BFFs are on entertaining her :)

Today I was driving Nate to a friend's house, when I passed a yard sale. I spotted a Cozy Coupe! I pulled over and asked how much. Go ahead and guess what they wanted for it!!!! ONE DOLLAR!!!!! I was so excited and gave 2 whole dollars since I almost paid the retail price of $50 the other day. Something felt wrong about buying a Cozy Coupe for a buck. ( I know the extra dollar didn't seem like much, but I needed the cash for our McDonalds run. :)

Grace LOVES, LOVES, LOVES her new Big Red Car! We were singing The Wiggles' song Big Red Car when she was in it and she was swaying back and forth. Too cute! I had to pull her out of it kicking and screaming when it was time to come in. When you look at the pictures and you feel the urge to say, "Geez. lady, brush her hair". No brush would make it through the lollipop mess that she rubbed in her hair. I'm afraid her hair will have to look like that until bath time tonight. Poor Grace got the lollipop at the doctors today. She has a nasty cold and now an ear infection. Sleeping has been horrible. 3-4 hours a night for Brad and I. We have tried putting her in bed with us and it just doesn't work. She kicks, stands, etc for hours. We rock her to sleep and she wakes screaming again. The other night she was up every hour all night. We think she is waking from feeling lousy and then doesn't want to be alone. Last night we took turns sleeping on the floor with her in her room on sleeping bags. She slept much better, but I can not do that every night. We are at a loss right now and are so very tired. We really need to get back to her sleeping in her crib in her room alone. When she is all better, we may need to practice some tough love. Hopefully it will fix itself. I'll take any tips you AP's have.
