Pretty mundane day. It was rainy and a bit chilly for most of the day. Makenna, unfortunately, has caught another cold. She had hints of it yesterday with a runny but stuffy nose and she sounded a bit stuffed up. I'm sure jumping around in puddles yesterday was not the best idea but she seemed to enjoy it. We have to go out and buy her some "wellies" - boots for the rainy weather here.
So to save other children at church, we decided to keep her home to "rest". I tried putting her down for a nap in the morning, like I usually do on Sundays, but after an hour and a half it was lunch time and she was still up and just reading. So I decided to just get her up and feed her. She still stayed up for almost another 3 hours.
She sure is testing her boundaries, as I keep saying. She keeps climbing up on things and we keep saying "Get Down". She keeps on not listening. So today, she was up on the couch, which is no big deal really compared to the chairs she gets on and starts jumping, and saying "hop, hop". But then she did a face dive onto the floor. She got a bit of a rug burn on her eye. She wasn't too happy but then got right back up onto the couch. Then tonight, she kept climbing up on the couch and leaning on the big hanging mirror on the wall, which then started to move and made me extremely nervous. She wants to practice her cry in the mirror. She loves seeing herself in the mirror and she'll either make whining faces and noises or make some other comment of sorts to see what she looks like when she says it. I think she's trying to perfect her crying techniques to be the most effective in getting her way and the only way to do so is to see what she looks like when she does it. Have to get the most pathetic cry in order to get daddy's sympathy, is what she must think as she's looking into the mirror.
