Poor Alyssa and her ungraceful (tired) nature. We had a big day Saturday with a birthday party at 11 am and a neighborhood cookout at 5 pm. In my never ending efforts to get Alyssa to sleep through the night again, I made her stay up all day. Even though she was exhausted after the birthday party (I really think she jumped in the bouncy cake for 2 of the hours we were there). So then we were off to the neighborhood cookout, which was a great time & wonderful food, wish we could have stayed out longer. Alyssa was running with all the kids from our front yard to next door where we were, across our driveway. Todd said "Just wait, one of them is going to fall." I say "You know it will be ours". And I am not kidding it wasn't 3 seconds and Alyssa went down. Todd went to her rescue and they went in the house where she declared she was done for the day. So I gathered our things and made it home with Aiden to find her on the couch with her "cold" on her knees. Poor girl, usually she would get back out there but she was exhausted and ready for bed. The good news is she slept from 8:30 to 6:45!! A great improvement over the two prior nights where she was up at 3 am. So her poor knees are done in again from our drive and this time her hands joined in too. I'm sorry you get your gracefulness from me Squeaks :-(I also had to share this "normal" picture of her. Most of you know a posed shot of her is next to impossible unless you want a terrible overbite and bugged out eyes.
