Alright we got too confident with our new Nia and she's totally overdone with our busy on the go Spring Break. Yesterday we did a play area in Holland and out for lunch. Then after nap we decided to do dinner at a grandparents home along with making Easter eggs. Then to bed, which was a struggle because we were too tired. Then this morning we had to get up and get going because we were going to Meijer Gardens with family, then out for lunch. She was not in the mood AT ALL! She didn't mind the car ride...sang the whole way there! Once we got there though she totally shut down and didn't smile for quite some time. She was terrified by the cage like structure heading into the butterflies so we tried it twice with full out tantrums and then we gave up. One tantrum we had to go outside because we were so loud. Other kids started to stare and it actually was nice as she was lying there on the ground dealing with herself. (I have found that she gets more upset if I hold her so I just make sure that she's safe and let her calm down on her own.) One mother passing by with her concerned child said "it's OK honey her mommy is there for her!" I was actually so excited that I was seen as her mommy! She cried it out lying on the ground for about 5 minutes...but then she was much better. We went inside and didn't even attempt the butterflies...had a snack, juice and then she was her normal self again running around. She even was willing to climb the large large grass hill by the HUGE horse in the sculpture gardens outside.
It was a HUGE wake up for Dave and I. She slept on the way home and had the BEST afternoon. She played in our backyard with Kaiya and Ellie...and played like three little sisters! Then played inside this evening with all of us...just back to her giggly self! Tomorrow is a low key day...so is Saturday, but not Sunday with it being Easter. Church and lunch and then nap and then dinner out and then my friend Mindy is coming home with her new Mimi and I HAVE to get to the airport in GR for that one! Big day. Hopefully Saturday will be low key enough.
Then Monday is school. Nia and I will bring the girls to school and then chill out at home just us!
She's really doing well except when her parents put her over the edge! The one thing that she shocked us on was her time at the aquatic center. Sitting on the edge within 10 minutes of being there and diving in...underwater and LOVING it! Amazing!
Have a great rest of Spring Break!
