Sounds from the bedroom


It is extremely late, and I just got home. I went out with some friends after work tonight and now I can't sleep...I'm getting my hair chopped in the AM and all of a sudden I'm nervous. Anyhoo,

I'm having some technical difficulties so I can't post pictures of our fabulous Saturday at the carnival, or the new pictures of Lily at her 2nd day of dance class, or a funny video I took of her the other day. Instead, I'll paint a picture of my afternoon (after lunch and before work)...


While Lily was in bed -- she was supposed to be taking her nap -- this is what we heard:


Lily:"Ouch!" (whimper, whimper) "OUCH "(whimper, whimper)


"Spot makes me feel better."


"No! My turn, my turn!"


"Old McDonald had a dog and Bingo was his name-O, B-I-N-G-O"....


"Bingo, Name-O! Bingo, Name-O!"


"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...10 fingers."


"Mommy! I have to go POTTY!!!!"




Off to the potty (for the 3rd time since this so called nap has begun)...


"I all done...wook mommy I went lotta poopoo...they wook wike carrots and scwoos or somefing."


OK, back to bed.


silence for a few.


"Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mooooommmmmy!"




So, once again, I pop my head in.


"Mommy, come 'ere. go to sweep on me pweese."


Me: "No, Lily."


Lily: "Weed 'Underwears Do's and Don'ts' "(her new book)...


Me: "No, Lily it's not time for books. It's time for you to go to sleep. You're a big girl."


Lily: "Mom. YOU are a big girl. Way down and go to sweep on ME."


Me: "Goodnight Lily. If I have to come back in here I'm going to give you a spanking on your bottom."




Silence.




When sleep finally does come it is sooo sweet.


I'll be back with new pictures and updates...and btw, 2 days till hip hop! (and NO, there will not be any pictures or videos of MY dance class)!
Happy Monday - I'm off to get some sleep.

Annslee LOVES that book...and all the rest of his. They are too funny.

Sounds like naptime at our house lately. Saturday she talked me into resting with her for a second and then she had me in a choke hold and I couldn't get back up! Her new thing is she is "little" ha ha

Too funny. I went to get Mya from her nap yesterday cuz I could hear her chattering. She was under her blankets talking. When I asked her who she was talking to, she simply replied Lily Grace! Better check out that underwear book. SOunds fun.

I have a Zumba class tonight. It's a mix of hip hop, salsa, ballet... It is so much fun, and I look like a complete idiot out there, but I don't care.

Underwear do's and don'ts, Britney Spears need to read this. Britney-please DO wear underwear, DON'T show us your NOT wearing any eeehhh!!
Nap time plays out very much the same way her, Jillian wants me to sit beside her bed until she goes to sleep.
Can't wait to see the hair, when you computer problems are resolved.

Have a Great Evening.

Elizabeth said...

this post is funny. I too was reflecting on how naps can be so .... not simple. Pees, drinks, songs etc, everything to stall. and I always start out sweet and full of love and by the end when he's finally asleep I had to threaten him a couple times to get there.
Kids!

Adele said...

These girls will do anything to keep from taking a nap. I know Mallory will try everything to keep from taking one. Too funny.
Lily is just so cute and funny.
Enjoy your hip hop class. That sounds like so much fun to me.
