We just had a major meltdown in
Nellieville. Whoa. Like no other. Miss Ellie wanted chocolate milk. She had already brushed her teeth (I'm kinda a clean teeth
nazi, I'll admit it) so I was not going to give in... plus, it was time for bed. I got her a cup of water. She started crying, I said no, she started screaming and kicking and thrashing her arms. It was 6:45 so it was close enough to bedtime (especially with no nap today) so I
preceeded to lift her up off the floor, where she was still having a cow, and told her it was time for bed. That only made things worse. Now we start with the - hitting me in the face, spitting, screaming, flexing her body, trying to wriggle out of my arms. I grabbed a pull-up and up the stairs we went... the meltdown continued. When we got to her room it sounded like I was murdering her. She just screamed her heart out all the while sobbing. Sobbing so hard it made her chest quiver and shake as she tried to catch her breath. Then just like that - it was over. I sat in her rocking chair and stayed calm (pretty proud of myself for this one, usually I lose it faster than she does!) I told her to take some deep breaths and to relax. We read 3 books, went potty and had a drink of water. Then instantly she was out cold. Can we say O.V.E.R.T.I.R.E.D.
We had our x-mas get together last Wednesday night... ordered pizza, let the girls open presents and sat around and talked... we don't do it often enough anymore, busy time of year... I miss my girls!
Do you think Ellie liked her princess ornaments!?
She had a cute dress on over that lime green turtle neck and pants... but when we got there auntie Jess gave us 2
Halloween costumes and the one she is wearing is like a woodland fairy or something?!
Her big girl princess panties!
Her little people camping set from Auntie Tanya!
Don't my friends have CUTE KIDS!

Tonight we were supposed to have a Christmas party for Greg's photography club... but this is the current forcast:
-9° Clear ~ Windchill -29
To say the least... I got home from work and there was NO WAY IN HELL I was going back out there and I wasn't about to bundle Ellie up and take her out either. Greg went by himself. I think he's crazy! But he just called and is on his way home, had a good time, participated in the cookie exchange (Ellie and I baked last night) so he's bringing home a bunch of yummy treats, participated in the white elephant gift exchange and he even one a door prize! Fun :)

You handled that very well! The whole time I was reading, I was putting myself in your shoes...except with TWO screaming kids...and I just know I would have lost it!! We have had some semi-major fits but I'm sure it's a whole new ballgame once they start talking...yeesh!!! Glad the night turned out okay though :)
That's great that you got to get together with your girlfriends...my closest two live miles and miles away but I'm hoping to see them at some point over the holidays.
Have a great week!
Okay, did this work???
YAY! IT DID! IT DID!!! :)
it worked mik!!! yay!! :)
WOW! You are so patient! It warmed up today!!!
I hope I can always be as patient as you! When they get that tired, it is just amazing what comes out of them!! I think you did great handling her.
My friend and I do our own Christmas together and I look forward to it every year. This year we will be doing it just after Christmas, but it will be fantastic.
