A Day In The Life

Thoughts from the trenches about raising Samantha and Joshua and assorted other living creatures.

Our daughter is a "no quit" kind of girl. Stays up all night and won't quit when she has things that need doing. Matt seems to think she gets that from him. Hmph! She was awake for three hours from 1 to 4 this morning. Then she wouldn't take a nap, so I said the heck with it and went to the bike path to walk us, particularly Ella. Usually the rhythm and bouncing on the path puts her right to sleep in her carriage, but not today. She didn't sleep until we had walked for a half hour, and then she slept through the rain, getting in and out of the car, and me unbuckling her. She woke up as soon as I lifted her, so I fed her. I thought, she only had a 45 minute nap, she should be tired, right? No. I tried putting her to bed at her regular time, 2 pm. She played for half and hour, then cried for ten minutes. So I took her downstairs while I made cake for Shabbos, and she didn't start fussing until 3:45. She finally is sleeping at 4pm. I can't believe she kept going. Her eyes are beet red and dark circles all around them.
