Need sleep!

I woke up this morning wishing I could call in sick from being a stay at home mom.  I haven't gotten much sleep lately because Amelia is far from sleeping through the night.  Obviously, I cannot do that; I must go on.  I got myself moving by telling myself I would do everything in my power to take a nap this afternoon.  We played hard at the park and made it through a crazy lunch.  I got Oliver in his bed, then Amelia in my bed, ate my lunch and changed the laundry.  "Good I should still have an hour to nap".  I took off my glasses and got ready to join Amelia in my bed.  Her beautiful bright eyes were staring at me.   Dun dun dun.  My carefully executed plan out the window.  I wanted to cry.  I flopped down in the bed next to her just to pout.  She just laid there smiling at me with her big toothless grin. How could I hold this against her?  I decided to take that time to be totally into Amelia. We stared at each other 

and I stroked her hair.  And would you believe it,  she fell asleep.  Oliver would never have done that.  Once he was up, he was up.  I am continuing to find out new personality traits in my baby, and the more I learn the cooler she is.  I got more then a nap today. I got 1/2 a nap and awesome bonding time with my Little Miss Sunshine.
