Alyssa has just been moody lately, which is sometimes a good thing, and more often than not, well, not such a good thing…  We were able to take her to her Aunt’s graduation this week, where she did a nice job of staying quiet & being entertained, at least during the ceremony.  Once it was over, though, she didn’t want much to do with anyone.  She kept getting fussy, for no reason, other than the fact that it was past her bedtime, we’re pretty sure…  The next day, we took her with us to Katrina’s best friend’s Birthday party, where she just fussed, practically the entire time we were there!  Again, it was right around her usual naptime, so we’re pretty sure the “culprit” was once again sleepiness, especially since she was perfectly happy, once she woke up from her nap, later that same day.  She has had her “extra happy” times, too, lately, which have been nice, though!  We took her to swim at the girls’ Uncle, Aunt & cousins’ house yesterday & she absolutely *loved* that!  Of course, it was *after* naptime that we all got together, so… lesson learned: you can’t take a sleepy baby anywhere (or, at least not an 18-month old, with a mind of her own)!  😉
