Exhaustion

Ella has been sick with cold the last couple of days. I spent Thursday night up with her all night and then again last night. I slept maybe a few hours total each night and last night, caved in and let her sleep in my arms in our bed... Ella has been in bed for almost an hour and a half and she's still crying, playing, grumpy. We've gone in a few times but once we leave she's back to hysterics. I'm exhausted and going to bed. I don't know if she's just out of sorts from being sick, or she wants to stay up and be with the adults. I'm worried that she could have turned a corner and is now going through the stage of fighting bedtime. I'm giving it one more night before we switch rooms with Steph and Matt and we sleep in Ella's room with her.

We drove around the north part of the island today and the North Shore...
