Ellie woke up from her afternoon nap yesterday evening around 6pm on THE wrong side of the bed. I thought I'd try to calm her down by putting her in her high chair and feeding her a yummy dinner of Macaroni and Cheese and cucumbers...her favorites. Not fun! She was a nightmare. So, I put her down, let her run around, and left the bowl of Mac on the bench for her to come back to if she wanted. Ahhh, solution! She eventually found it and it saved our night. She spent the entire rest of the evening carrying around her bowl, eating like a big girl (sort of!) with a spoon. There was cheese sauce everywhere by the end of it! But...I had a content, quiet child FINALLY.

Sounds a lot like our night here...although I don't think Joe would have gone for the cucumbers :)
