It's been a long day... Once again Ali didn't sleep at all last night :( Maybe a few hours if you add up a little her a little there... She then did fall asleep on my lap at about 6:30am for about an hour on the couch. One nap for about 45 minutes around 12:30pm. We decided to not let her sleep at anytime after 3:00 pm in hopes that she would be sooo tired she would sleep tonight - we'll see. We did put her to bed in her be at about 8:00pm and she did fall asleep pretty quick.
She has definitely had her ups and downs today... She does get up and walk around more - but it does wear her out. And she does show some interest here and there in playing throughout the day, but there are plenty of times she snaps back and reverts to crying - over really nothing that we can tell. We got her out of the house today to go look for a new bed for her, but we were in the store about 2 minutes and she was crying that she wanted to go home...
She did have some soup for lunch and she had some string cheese and some jello for a snack. Dinner on the other hand was a fight... Although in the end I persuaded her into having some more soup - which she actually had quite a few bites of, surprisingly. I felt bad really fighting her to eat - but she NEEDS to eat. Her pain or discomfort or just mood change comes and goes which is a little frustrating. Encouraging to see her playing and walking around the house, and then deflating to see her wining and crying the next minute, apparently because whatever is bothering her as come back and she all the sudden feels lousy again. And we still haven't been able to get any explanation of why... Baby steps... we keep reminding ourselves she does appear to be better in some areas lately so maybe she is coming around - just very slowly...
