Wild Night

So, the bed was not Anne's friend last night. She got up 8 or 9 times between 8 pm and 6 am. She also got herself stuck between the bed and the wall a couple of times, prompting a visit from Mom or Dad to free her. We were grumpy parents this morning, and I actually hid under the covers after she woke me by smacking my face with a board book saying "Read boot!" Why, why after a week of good sleeping did she suddenly turn on us? Tonight we must be firm--stay in bed. And no sitting by her until she falls asleep! Crabby, pregnant, tired Mom is not a nice person!

It was kind of hard not to laugh when she said "I get out" Yes, yes you did.

On the plus side, Sam built new closet shelves yesterday and now we have a hyper-organized kid closet. I will have to take a picture to share with you. Those who know me well enough will know what kind of glee I get from a color-coded organizational system. :)

I feel that as a librarian you would like to be woken up to your child wanting to read.

Had she not bopped me in the nose, I would have been more pleased.

It is nice to hear "Ah, more boots, pees?" Or the ones she knows by title, like "Too-too" which is "Choo-Choo"

Most hilarious: She calls "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" "meat" because I showed her where he eats a chunk of salami. "Ah meat boot!"

Who does not love the meat book, oh I think that is a GREAT title for it!!!! And Corrie.... I agree with Erin...As the Media Specialist, waking up to a good book that "smacks you in the head" should thrill you :) Hee hee!

LOL! "I get out." That would have been very difficult not to laugh when she said that!!

Meh, I doubt it's THAT organized...
;)

Speaking of, a friend of mine was telling me how she'd love to be an organizer, and I told her about you being very good at it also! You people are necessary in this world!

In other news, the word verification below is "panchies." It is a funny word, and makes me laugh.
