Am I keeping you up?

I thought 6:30 was bad! This morning Mike asked if I could tell him the time. I wasn't sure why he was asking but squinted at the clock and said, "It's almost 6 a.m.". Exasperated Mike repeated, "It's not even six yet?"

I then realized that Amelia was, once again, in our room wide awake. We tried to get her to fall asleep in our bed, but it didn't work. She just begged and badgered until one of us (mommy) got out of bed and took her and all her animals (two giraffes, two zebras, two elephants, a horse and a unicorn) downstairs to play.

Believe it or not, I'm getting used to getting up early.

More interesting than sleep battles may be the fact that Diana is learning to sit up on her own. She can sit for a couple of minutes now before slowly falling off to one side.
