Right after Emma was born, we could take her ANYWHERE and she was perfect. She'd fall asleep wherever we were and just relax. I think we got spoiled!
Recently, we've discovered that Emma doesn't do as well when we are out and about for too long. She still does okay on car rides and will fall asleep, but I can't string too many errands together or she starts to lose her patience with me. This is especially true on physical therapy days when she's had to hang out with me for a hour while I make funny faces.
On Sunday, we met up with Dave's family for a Labor Day BBQ. Emma had been home most of the day before we left about 3:30 and had taken a couple of shorter naps, but she missed her long afternoon nap because of when we needed to leave. She did great at first and had fun playing with Jack and visiting with everyone there. But, about 8 PM, she became very angry and started crying and screaming. As soon as the car started going, Emma was fast asleep. Our little girl was exhausted!!!
What we figured out later, was that Emma didn't really nap much while we were gone and that really contributed to her being so tired. We need to find a way to get Emma comfortable falling asleep anywhere again!
