Tuesday e really fought me when I tried to put her down for a nap. We had gone to the church because Jessica wanted to meet her and to let e play the organ, which she did with aplomb, using both manuals. About 11:30 she indicated she was sleepy so we went through the ritual (reading, sleep sack, singing till she was very relaxed) and I laid her in her crib. Waaaa! Screams erupted, not little fussing sounds but full-blown anger. I picked her up, and almost immediately she calmed and fell asleep on my shoulder. After a couple of minutes I returned her to her crib. Waaaa! We must have done this three or four times. I held her longer each time I picked her up. My back began to ache. After thirty minutes of this up and down I decided maybe she was hungry and gave her a bottle. She stayed up till her 2:00 medication then slept for 45 minutes. I don't know if I misread her cues, if she had tummy troubles, or what, but it was not much fun. Later she and I both needed fresh clothes, so maybe it was tummy issues.
Little e is usually calm and cheerful, but not always. And Tuesday was one of those days.
