It is pretty common for Emma (almost 20 months) to wake up from her nap in a bad mood. It isn't always like that, but it happens a lot. Somedays she just wakes up grumpy and nothing seems to make it right. This was one of those days. We offer her snacks and snuggles, drinks and distractions. But nothing seems to work. At least not consistently. Sometimes she just has to cry and be mad for a little while and then she gradually gets back to her usual happy self. Sometimes I don't like waking up either. Once in a while I just have to document the sadness. You know. For posterity.
After a while of being sad she usually gets back to feeling normal and will accept snacks and other things.
Here Grant helps her forget her troubles.
She likes all the kids but finds Grant (age 5) particularly diverting. Maybe we'll figure out how to better help her reenter after her nap time, but for now it just seems to take time. Waking up can be so unpleasant sometimes.

Tehe, her little pigtails are so small! I also do not love waking up, especially after a nap.
