Our own little barometer

It has been rainy this week and boy, does this bother Payton. She really seems to be physically affected when a storm is rolling in. She's already strong-willed and a two-year-old, so this makes for a super cranky and loud little girl. It always seems to happen when we're trying to put her to sleep (a time that is already pretty difficult some days). She'll be fussy and showing all the signs of being sleepy, but once it's time for her to actually fall asleep, she fidgets and rolls all around, refusing to settle to sleep. It actually took us 2 1/2 hours to get her to sleep the other night. Once it finally starts to rain, she's okay and will sleep soundly. But that build up to the storm is terrible for her. At naptime today, she was doing all her tricks to keep herself awake and seeming uncomfortable, then literally it started raining and she fell right to sleep within a minute or two. We're definitely ready for this stormy weather to end now...
