Mike & I got quite a chuckle last night - well, a few chuckles to be exact. We've been thinking lately that Maddy is probably on track to stop taking naps...so for the last few weeks, sometimes we'll let her take one, sometimes we'll stretch her. ~Not really pushing the issue...but last night was one of those nights that made us think it's time to cut them out. She was up - wide awake up - until just about 11pm! She was happy to stay in her crib, which was a good thing. She was a busy bee...reading several books to all of her babies & stuffed friends. Singing them songs, changing their diapers, carrying on conversations, laughing...overall livin' it up. Hilarious to listen over the baby monitor to her fabulous imagination - giving each baby a character in the books they were reading, asking sweet questions, then saying 'OH! uh huh' & a number of other adorable things I wish I had written down as we were laughing. Of course, every time we went to her room to say it was time for her to go to sleep, she would cheese it up - those beautiful smiles she flashes (I swear that girl lights up the room every time she smiles...so bright & warm...even when she has that big ol' hint of mischief at the same time...I melt -that's all there is to it). She blamed her baby 'Sweena-na' (her Cabbage Patch Kid, 'Selina') for keeping her up at one point - 'Sweena-na won't go to sleep - she needs to sit in time out and calm down...uh huh.' Each time we tucked her back in, we thought she would finally settle down, but after about 3 minutes, she'd be talking again...laughing, etc. Finally around 10:50, we heard a sweet yawn, 'I'm reawwy tired' and out she went. What I would give for a camera in there to have watched those couple of hours.
