Yeah, right...

Silly me... Both the kids were sleeping and I had a whole HOUR before we've got a little friend coming over for a play date, and I actually thought I'd have that whole HOUR to do a little blogging, maybe write in my journal, have a snack, pluck my eyebrows, etc...

While I did manage to grab a granola bar and sit down for two seconds and get my computer up and running, our baby girl stayed true to her cat-nap nature and awoke about 20 minutes after she had fallen asleep. This is her m.o. Unlike our boy, who has always been an avid sleeper and napper, baby girl is much more of a socialite. Taking regular, deep slumbers will just not do for her socialite lifestyle. She'd much rather take mini naps here and there, effectively rendering my helpless to get anything done around this joint. 

O.k., I exaggerate a little bit... I manage. Especially since this 'joint' is up for sale. Gotta keep things nice and tidy. However, between our two babies and watching other people's babies and keeping things clean and people fed and laundry done to my anal-retentive liking, you can see how that possibility of a whole HOUR just to myself had me drooling with anticipation and glee.

Luckily baby girl is content to sit here and oversee my activities as I type away. And in honor of her patience being the only way I'm able to post this entry, here's a little peek at just whom it is I speak of...

This is the look she darts around when she wakes up and wants to know just where I've gone and why I'm not holding her and why she's alone in her Boppy chair instead. You can see the disapproval in her eyes. But then I go and explain things to her and the look changes to this:

 "Oh good, you're still here. I was just worried because there have been a couple times in my entire life when you left me with someone else for a couple minutes and it was fairly traumatic. But you're still here so it's all good."

And with that pleasant little grin I'm completely disarmed and swear that I will never leave her with anyone ever again in her entire life, even for a couple minutes.
