She had been playing with stickers. I let her perch on the table for a while, but she started to sink really deep into sleep. She was tossing, turning, and rolling around. I cautiously carried her to her bed, gingerly took her shoes off, and slipped a pull up on. She halfway woke up in the process so I expected a little resistance. Instead she said, "You can leave now." I couldn't help but grin.
The grinning ended when she woke up 2 hours later when Brielle was fussing. Yikes. Screaming. Pitching blankets. Chucking her pillow and bunny. Wailing my name. Pushing Brielle's hand. Smacking the side of my head. Not cool. We finally got things figured out (potty break, Brielle in swing, snack, snuggles) and she wanted me to rock her back to sleep. When I laid her back down I tucked her in tight and said, "I love you Rhya" In her delirious state, she reached her hand up and blew me a kiss. Heart melt.
The night is not done. We shall see what happens next!
This is what Brielle does whenever she sees her mama:
My heart is constantly in melt mode. How can I resist those reaches? She does NOT want anyone else to hold her when I am present. I have to disappear.
This little man is hard to resist also:
Gary and Amber were brave enough to have us over on Sunday. Reid is already 10 weeks old and quite the jabberbox/smiler/cooer.
I tend to only write about stuff that I have pictures of but there's a certain mall experience I want to remember. Right, Kristina?
Something compelled Kristina and I to go shopping at the Burnsville Mall last Thurs. Hop on over to her blog for a documentary.
Rhya kept forgetting to stick right next to me so after I lost track of her for the SECOND time I was very firm and let her know it was NOT a light matter. She said, "But Winky runs away!" I knew exactly what she was talking about. You know that song, "Wee Willy Winky runs through the town?" She likes to sing the song but evidently has been processing the words. In her mind she was just 'Winky'. Oh boy. It was hard to not belly laugh over that one.
I informed her that if she stayed RIGHT next to me for the rest of the time she could have a ride on the elevator. She practically tripped me from there on out. Her whole body was TOUCHING mine she was so close! She kept looking at my feet and body and readjusting her steps so she could be as close as possible. She looked up and announced, "I stayin' right next to you!"
Needless to say, Kristina and I exchanged many silent 'this is hilarious' looks throughout the day. Never ending hilariousness.
