Playtime at 1 a.m.

Lauryn decided that 1am was a good time for play this morning. I, of course, was fast asleep until I heard her on the monitor making noise. I ran upstairs to get her and bring her to her pack and play bed in our room. Typically, when I do this, she goes right back to sleep in the pack and play. But no, not this morning.
What was I thinking trying to put her back to bed?!? This was playtime, didn't I get the memo? Apparently not. So...after failing several times to get her to go to sleep, I gave her milk, put her in the pack and play and let her play herself to sleep.
Eventually it worked. She fell asleep somewhere around 3am. When it was time to get ready for daycare, I had to wake her up. She didn't want to wake up so she slept through my getting her dressed for the day. Finally she opened her eyes after I put on her shirt, looked at me, smiled and said "Boo.". I cracked up and so did she. It was a pretty funny start to the day.

Let us hope that tonight, she sleeps all night...or else I'm going to need a gallon of Starbucks tomorrow.
