Naps and Moving

So I decided that naps and moving doesn't work well with Keira. We moved out of our apartment October 31st. There were four days of heavy packing and cleaning (thanks to my mom being there, those four days, we actually got most everything done before leaving). This is the only apartment that Keira ever really remembered, but she hadn't been really bothered by anything until the last day...most everything was gone. We tried to put her down for nap in her empty room. Usually she doesn't put up a fuss about going to bed, but my mom went in to check on her when she was yelling hysterically POOPY! She had pooped her pants. Her legs were spread as far apart as possible (pooping her pants doesn't happen and it made her really upset on top of everything else that was going on). Clean up was easy and back to bed she went. Jason got a little worried when she was hysterical again. He went to check on her and this is what he saw. Keira had taken off all of her clothes, laid them in a pile, hung them over the edge neatly, and stood there crying. I don't know how she could stand it...we had the door open several hours that day and it was probably about 60 degrees in there. It must not have bothered her that much because she did it twice. Then finally silence...she went to sleep.

Halloween

Hallie was a pumpkin this year for Halloween and Keira was a fairy. My sister made a tutu for Keira last year (she did such a good job) and Keira loved wearing everything. We moved on Halloween, but she went the day before to get her candy at our ward Halloween party. I let her ride out to Meridian with her bucket and caught her twice eating her frootie tooties, the wrapper and all. I looked back at her in my rearview mirror after hearing her say MM MMMMMMMM and noticed her holding on the one wrapped end with the rest half missing. It was all the same to her...I guess.






Carving Pumpkins

Keira helped carve pumpkins this year. Half of the time she spent crying and the other half she spent having fun. She got to color and cut on the pumpkins, but when we put the candle in, lite them, and then turned out the lights she was horrified again.
