Silly Parent #27, Wanting to Wake The Baby
Wow I haven’t done a silly parent in a long time!
So the other day Isabelle was asleep. And we wanted her awake. I can’t remember why. So Alan was staring at her. Like hovering, crazy, wake up NOW cute baby kind of staring. I can’t remember if that got her awake. I’m thinking no.
So why do I mention this? Well she’s asleep and I want her awake. Think crazy staring will work? 
We are late sleepers and late risers here. But the time change threw us off again. She’s been sleeping early some nights and late others. It usually happens when she goes down for her second nap and just sleeps through the night instead of waking up. But that means no dinner for us or the dogs and no showers. I so like food and showers.
Oh well guess I’ll get dinner and a shower tomorrow.
Go read Silly parent #26, Crayons.

Well, she’s so adoreable (see last post’s pictures), how could you not want to spend all your time with her?! I always imagine that if we had a 3-year-old that they’d constantly be running to Andrew, “Dad, tell Mom to quit bugging me. I don’t want to play anymore.”

Your post reminded me of an early scene in the “Terms of Endearment” movie. Shirley McLaine’s character and her husband had just come in from an evening out, and when she walks into her baby daughter’s nursery, she thinks her daughter is dead because of the deep sleep her baby is having. After multiple times of staring/prodding at her, she wakes the baby, which of course begins crying. The mother then gives this huge sigh of relief and goes to bed…
On that note, I admit that I would have done the same!
