Toddler Bed Update

Kaylee's first night in the toddler bed, after her short crying spell, she slept well and didn't get out of bed until we went in to get her at 8am! She had been awake since a little after 7, but just talked and played in bed. We had told her she could only get out of bed if one of us or a grandparent was with her, and so far she's listened. She took a nap yesterday and stayed in until I got her, and this morning only climbed out of bed once I opened the door and went into her room. She's just woken up from her nap today and I can here her up there talking to her toys, but it sounds like she's still in bed. (Just got her and she was still lying in bed.)

Kaylee's had an off and on cold the past week (thanks, preschool!), and yesterday afternoon she wasn't feeling the greatest again. At 5pm we had a birthday party at Catch Air, which she loves, and she was excited to go, but once we got there she was very lethargic and only played with a couple things. A little boy (smaller than her, probably not too much younger, though) ran up to her and scratched her on the neck and after that it was all over for her. Lots of crying and she just clung to me the rest of the time we were there. I told her we could go home, but she really wanted to stay for the cake (and by cake, I mean frosting). So we stayed - which was a mistake, but at least she got her frosting. She took maybe 2 bites of pizza and ate the frosting off her piece of cake, but was crying most of the time before she got the cake (partly from seeing the cake and not getting to eat it yet).

Once we got home, I gave her a quick bath and put on her pj's for bed. As soon as they were on, she crawled into bed, said, "night-night," and that was that! I don't think that's ever happened (recently)! We usually read a book or two, play a game or sing songs, but she was worn out. She even went to bed an hour earlier than usual and I didn't hear a peep all night. She was even still quiet when I went in to get her at 8am, though she was awake.

This morning she was like a little zombie, and felt really warm. I took her temperature and it was 101.6 - her first fever! :( We gave her some Tylenol Cold a couple hours before nap and she perked up a little bit and didn't feel as warm. I just took her temperature again after nap and it's back up to 101.6 again. Grr. Hopefully it'll pass quickly and she'll be back to her normal crazy self soon!
