Aga! Ga Ga GA!
Nov. 24th, 2006 05:06 amThat's Claire's comment on the morning. She's sitting on the floor near me, playing with her peek-a-boo blocks, smiling, content with the world. Mommy's typing, she's eating blocks - what's not to love?
I'll tell you what's not to love.
IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE FRIGGIN' MORNING, AND YOU'VE BEEN UP FOR AN HOUR, YOU EXASPERATING CHILD!
Today is Elizabeth's day at home. She went to bed about fifteen minutes early last night. I would not be surprised if she were up at seven. Claire will hopefully go down again before six, and when she does she'll probably sleep until eight. That won't help me, though. I'm doomed to be exhausted all day long.
She woke up around one, stayed up long enough to get a very complete meal, and then went back to sleep until four. That's not a bad night, really, considering recent trends. But I'm going to go totally mad if this is the new pattern. She had a good meal within the last hour. Now I'm just hoping the peek-a-boo blocks will tire her out a bit so she'll go back to sleep around the time Piet leaves for work. There's a half-decent chance we can all sleep in if she does that, and if Elizabeth cooperates.
