Apparently Ella is more about growing up than I even thought because she is taking over the terrible two's like it's her job. And man oh man do those meltdowns test a momma's patience. Sometimes it's almost more than I can handle- the screaming, hitting, throwing herself on the floor, and I kind of have a feeling this is ONLY the begining!
Yesterday when I went to pick up Ella from daycare she was playing in the sand bin having such a good ole time. Usually she is super excited to see me and runs and gives me a great big hug, and i'm just on cloud nine since i've missed her so much throughout the day. Not yesterday though. Yesterday I could have left her there all night and she would have been just fine I think. She actually ran AWAY from me and went over to Miss. Amber (her teacher) and gave her a big hug and laid her head on her chest. It broke my heart. I'm not even kidding. Then when I told her it was time to go she threw herself on the floor as I tried to wrestle her coat on her... and then she cried all the way out of the room, down the hall, and across the parking lot to the car. Then I cried all the way home.
I hope today is better, because i'm not sure I can handle two days straight of that!

Thank you for your comment... I have been more at ease today so there's a plus. What a small world though that you too went to Purdue? I went to scotty's a lot with hubby so I probably (not knowingly) have seen you there at some point. And here we are both nurses now! You have a beautiful baby girl, Ella, and crazy my little girl will be named Elliana, and we plan on calling her Elli. We must be the same person, haha, and hopefully I too will bring home a healthy baby girl here in a few weeks! :)
