Today, like many days, we made our way to Target...
And, like many of our visits, we pass the diaper section. Zoe looks at it and says, "baby!! baby poopy!" ha!
She has become *that* kid who can't go by the thing she loves without getting hysterical--the dollies. I think Santa may be bringing her some baby things. I mean, that's what he's told us, anyway. ;)
For those who haven't been in the know, we've been suffering, since the time change and croup debacle, very VERY early wake up times. How early you might ask? As early as 3am, but the norm had been between 3:30-4:30. That was about 2 weeks of VERY early wake up times. Noah's been the saint to get up with her most of the time, but you all know how it is. You get up when they do, you don't sleep all that well, you hear the squeals of delight while they're playing, or the screams of a tantrum when they don't get their way...no one was getting a lot of sleep.
Anyway, she was up for the DAY. There was no compromising with Zoe. She was NOT going to go back down, no matter how we begged, coerced, bribed, or promised beautiful babies (dollies, FYI!). She was ready. And, within minutes of getting downstairs, she'd be RUNNING around the table. *yawn* We went through a lot of coffee during that time. ;)
Well, we're happy to report that Sunday, Zoe got up at 6:30am, and then this past morning, 6:10. We'll TAKE it. Much more like normal around here.
We can tell it had a definite positive effect on Zoe's behavior. We were watching Curious George today, and towards the end, she got up, insisted I got up too ("Dance, momma") and we danced. Zoe bounced and ran around in circles, and wouldn't even stop when her Daddy walked through the door a few minutes later. At one point, we were all three dancing together....FUN!
Please join us in a cheer for Zoe to SLEEP tomorrow morning!! GOOOOOOOO Zoe!
