It's possible we are very, very screwed
Oct. 18th, 2008 07:29 pmMaggie pushed herself hard today. Yesterday was a big day -- parent-teacher conference, playdate with two little girlfriends, and a trip out to the pumpkin patch where we picked five pumpkins and she rode her first (miniature) train *and* her first boat. All with only a 30-minute nap in the car.
Today she started the day with a cartoon and a movie and hot chocolate (good parenting, eh? ask me how I do it!) After the movie she helped me make grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch, although she ate only two slices of cheese (believe it or not this is a pretty good lunch for her, two slices of cheese). Then it was outdoor adventuring for 90 minutes, snack, putting away laundry, and more outdoor adventuring. Then we read a book and I started to get dinner ready. She had requested penne with tomato sauce, and she was excited about reading her new book at bedtime with Daddy, but it was not to be. The Meltdown Express arrived at 5:25, and after a while of fit-throwing, she passed out on the sofa at 5:50. I managed to move her upstairs at 6:45, this being approximately the third time in her life she has stayed asleep when moved. She's now sleeping in her bed (with freshly washed bedding, of course) with her clothes on. How long before she wakes up? How long will she be awake, and how many times will she get up tonight? Only the shadow knows.... I'm tempted to start my own sleeping now.
