For the past few weeks Nora has been having some sleep issues. It has been harder to get her to go to bed. Now that she can freely get up from her bed whenever she wants to, she seems to be taking full advantage of it. She routinely gets up 2 or 3 times when I put her down to sleep and she wakes up in the middle of the night and comes into our bed to sleep. I always plan on getting her and taking her right back to her bed but I am so sleepy and out of it that I often just wake up in the morning and find her in our bed.

One night last week I put her to bed. She seemed to go down easy, and she stayed in her bed. Scott and I were both upstairs working on our computers. About 2 hours after I put her to bed Emma let out a blood curdling scream and yelled “Mom, HELP! NORA!” I jumped up from my computer and ran downstairs. My heart was pounding and I was so worried that something bad had happened to Nora.

I got down stairs and was greeted by this:

When we thought she was sleeping, she was actually playing in the bathroom. She climbed up onto the counter and got the Eucerin down off the highest shelf. Somehow she figured out how to open it and she proceeded to put the ENTIRE JAR into her hair. She looked like she was wearing a white wig.

ARGH!!! I had no idea how to get all that grease out of her hair. Scott and I took her into our bath tub and first wiped out as much as we could with towels. Then I decided to get the Dawn dish soap, since it is supposed to be good at cutting grease I washed her hair with that about 10 times!

Now after about a week her hair is finally starting to look normal. Everyone thought her hair was constantly wet for the past week! Since then I have taken every last bottle of cream and lotion out of her bathroom. I can’t wait for her to outgrow this phase!
