Busy Day!

Yesterday was quite a busy day! First, after Kate napped for almost TWO HOURS we went to the grocery store. She rode in the cart like a big girl in one of the shopping cart covers that Jon's mom made for her. These covers are AMAZING! They have giant pockets and even a safety belt and fit over the carts perfectly. My mother-in-law is very talented and as you can see, Kate LOVED her seat!

Naturally, I had a lot to do yesterday because of returning from vacation...laundry, putting away groceries, the normal organizing and preparing for the next work day, etc. For some reason, Kate decided that she didn't want to play by herself...AT ALL! Perhaps she was used to having lots of attention while we were in Michigan? It's not like I was ignoring her AT ALL, but she is usually happy playing on the floor with her toys for bits of time. Not yesterday. In fact, she didn't even like being in her bouncy jumper that she loves so much. Every time I set her down to either empty the dishwasher or fold a load of laundry, she was fine for about two minutes, then she'd start to cry. I had her right next to me too. In fact when I was folding the laundry, I put her in her laundry basket with her favorite toy and she seemed happy right at my feet. But then she pooped and when I laughed, she started to cry. Odd.

Hopefully this is a brief transitional phase that will be over today. Her sleeping is still great, but this is yet another challenge. We hate to see her cry...it just breaks our hearts.
