can crying ever be "controlled"?

Trying to change Maria's routine a bit and make it more nursery friendly, and mummy friendly too, I suppose! I'm trying to get her to have her afternoon nap in her cot and not in the buggy and on the move as she's used to. It is a bit late do do this at 17 months, I suppose. And she's not very keen, crying away as I write and try not to feel too awful about it. Just been to confort her (more for my benefit than hers, I think!) and each time she takes a little break in her crying I wonder if that's it and she'll actually relax and go to sleep... but no, so far. And it is so tempting to give in, take her out of the cot and put her in the buggy for a walk around the bloc!

Ok, resist, Alba, don't give in...

This morning she really made me laugh, I made pancakes for breakfast and everyone was enjoying them until someone called them "pancakes" and she started to say "cake"?, full of hope... I must remember to call them "crepes" next time.

And as I finished the sentence above, silence! She's gone! So off to do some baking as husband and Daniel are out!!!! Or some sleeping? Or some browsing catalogues of nice things I can't afford...? Or perhaps the washing-up...
