Interesting Behavior

Last night we started VBS at church. I am doing the snacktime, which is much more than passing out goldfish and lemonade. The kids have to make their own snacks which go along with the lesson for the day. Since VBS goes from 9:00 until 12:00 Taylor does not get a nap in the morning. She will not sleep in the nursery. I was hoping that she would get a long nap after lunch, but she only slept for about 40 minutes.

After Taylor got up from her nap she started bringing me books to read. First she brought me one bedtime book and I read that one to her. As soon as I was finished she started fussing like she does when it is time for bed. I let her down and she got her other bedtime book. I read that one to her and she started fussing and rubbing her eyes. I thought either she is sleepy or she is pretending that it is bedtime. I have noticed that she has been pretending some lately. She will lie down on the floor and pretend to sleep. I have also caught her pretending to read a book. Well, I took her into her nursery and turned out the lights and turned on her sound machine. I proceeded to rock her and she cuddled with me for the longest time. She never really closed her eyes to go to sleep. Finally I decided to just put her in her crib to see if she would go to sleep. She didn't start crying right away. It has been about 15 minutes and she has been crying off and on. I will give her a little while longer to see if she goes back to sleep. It would be nice to have some peace and quiet to relax a while. I am exhausted from VBS this morning.
