Wednesday night was my daughter E's first night at her new dorm. While she was trying to fit herself in her second-level bunk bed, which still had most of her belongings strewn all over, Baby S and I were all comfy in her living room, watching TV and playing.
Yes, I am a bad Lula. Baby S was supposed to sleep hours ago, but I didn't have the energy to play heavy and force her to sleep. After all, we were having a great time playing with her dollhouse and making couches and airplanes out of her plastic blocks... and she was kissing me every few minutes... and well, Shawshank Redemption was on cable, and I love that movie and I haven't seen it for a long time so, you get the drift.
Every so often, Baby S would close the lights (yes, she can do that all by herself now), lie down, and get her bottle. But after a few minutes, she'll be up again, opening the lights, chatting with me, and playing with her toys. It was like I was in bed with the Energizer Bunny!
The movie soon ended but it took a couple more opening and closing of the lights before Baby S finally fell asleep, lodging herself by my side, her right leg on top of my tummy. I was so exhausted by then that I didn't bother moving her. And that's how I fell asleep.
