I think I've discovered the secret to getting Audrey to sleep easily at night:
1. Shorten her nap during the day (Eric woke her up yesterday because he had an appointment to get to).
2. Go to Chuck E. Cheese's for dinner.
3. Come home for ice cream and to play with her friend Ashley.
4. Stay up until 9:00.
5. Wear panties to bed.

I just desperately need to figure out which of the five things listed above was the clincher! She went to bed last night without a fuss... no crying... straight to sleep. It was amazing. She woke up happy and dry (yay!) around 7:45 today.

If it's the short nap that did it, then I'm definitely golden for tonight! She's currently sleeping on the couch (Conner's on the loveseat sacked out). We just got home a little bit ago from King's Island, where we spent the day with our friends Brian, Ashley, and Sarah. It was quite a looong day (7 hours at the park!) that included rides, water, pizza, and ice cream. Boy, are we tuckered out! It's nice to think about having that extra day off on Monday for Labor Day - I think we'll need it!

Conner's still having fun at school... he came home yesterday and said, "Mom, we did the coolest thing today!" I asked him weather it was in his music class or in his regular class. He said, "Neither! We got to go outside two times!" It turns out for some reason they got an extra recess outside - he loved it! I'm pretty sure that we had two recesses in elementary school - it's sad that they don't get that even as kindergarteners!
