Ah, three o'clock in the morning...my old friend. I'm going to be in trouble when my schedule shifts back to that of the normal working world. But for now I'm happy. Turns out I'm a bit of a night owl, in case you haven't noticed.
I've spent the better part of this evening on the computer, setting up my Etsy shop and my craft blog, and not getting much else accomplished. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 11:30, I realized it was getting pretty quiet.
The Princess has become a bit of a night owl too recently. She's been staying up late with Momma, stealing yarn and wreaking havoc around the house until all hours. So I thought it was odd that it had been quiet for so long. A realization like this usually tells me that she's gotten into something that she shouldn't have. Ever so quietly, I tiptoed across the house...not wanting her to hear me as I went to her room to bust her.
And she was sleeping. Curled up on her bed like an angel, cuddling Dirt Pink with the light on. My little girl put herself to bed tonight. I covered her with another blankie, swept the hair out of her face, kissed her on the cheek and backed out as quietly as a mouse.
It's the little things in this life that make it great.
Awww =D
ReplyDeleteK was so good at putting herself to sleep and this past week she has really taken to getting out of bed and knocking on the door to alert us that she's still awake. And as far as napping goes, forget it. I have to basically sleep with her with my arm wrapped around her just to keep her from jumping all over the place. It seems sort of counter productive but I know she still needs the sleep and if I don't do this, either she won't nap or she will end up napping until a half of an hour before her bed time. *sigh* Oh well, hopefully she'll get back on schedule one of these days.
Good luck! Sometimes I really miss Chloe's naps...they've been gone for so long, though, it's hard to imaging being limited by them when they're not convenient.
