This morning Ana and I were working through our morning routine: get up, have breakfast, get dressed, play a little, then read a couple books before putting her down for a nap. Well we had just finished eating and worked our way back upstairs to pick out her outfit for the day. I was in her room gathering her clothes and Ana wandered into the office. (We recently rearranged the office and the novelty of the new layout has yet to wear off for her.) A couple minutes later I went in to investigate what she was getting into that was delaying her return to her room. You can imagine my surprise when I walk into the office to find Ana laying down on the floor, cuddling her blankie and sucking on her binkie! Before she left her room she must have reached into the crib for her sleeping necessities then headed over to the office for a nice quiet place to curl up and sleep! Needless to say, we skipped right to reading a story and then the nap portion of the morning for my tired little monkey.
I think your tired little monkey could teach our tired little monkey a thing or two – ate at 11, woke up at 2:30 and ate well but refused – REFUSED – to go back to sleep. Seems 3am is prime play time. No sleep for the weary until 4:15 and then this morning nap time was fought and fought and fought. Basically had to tackle her with a pacifier and swaddle before she succcumbed to dreamland. Oh, I long for the days of organized and scheduled naps!
Hey Bateman’s! Hope all is well. I love all the latest pictures, especially Ana and the new puter. She is growing so fast and turning into a lovely young lady. Happy New Year, Valentines Day, Mardi Gras and President’s Day – Cheers from Rob & Kristin
