Sleep, all I want to do is sleep. Morgan, the child that slept 12 hours through the night in China and her first Month in the US has been waking up every night at least 3 or 4 times. Last week I was sick and this week Becky and Morgan are sick so I can understand why she’s not sleeping right now. Since I was sick we missed an opportunity to meet with a family that went to China with us. Since we have been having sleep problems we have ordered the Grandparents to limit the daily naps so that we can get some sleep at night. When we confronted them it was a little tense but I think everyone understood. We were all frazzled trying to figure out this kid. Oh, one day I got home and all four grandparents were there. They were all proud of themselves and told me that Morgan learned a new trick. Turns out they taught Morgan to climb the stairs. Unfortunately Becky and I were not all that excited about Morgan climbing stairs. We are still working out the kinks in the Grandparents Daycare, but so far it has been working out well. Hey Free daycare how can I complain? We are thrilled that Morgan is getting to know all four Grandparents. Oh, I can sum up my TV watching in one word “Wiggles”. We have our TIVO record all Wiggles programs. Needless to say I wake up in the morning singing the Wiggles theme song “Lights, Camera, Action, Wiggles, welcome to our TV show…”. I’ve done things that I never thought I would do. I sing, I dance, I’m teaching my daughter the burlesque song, Becky’s worried. Hey you try to undress a wanna be independent 15 month old without her screaming. Whatever it takes… Morgan is taking several steps now. Wait until she figures out that she can do it on her own. She can nod “Yes” and shake her head “No” (she’s particularly good at that one). Morgan can blow kisses, make a clucking noise with her tongue. She can wave Hello and Goodbye and when I come home she’ll lay her head on my shoulder when I pick her up and pat my back. I love that kid. Oh, recently we had Morgan at the Dr.’s office and she gained 2 lbs and grew 2 inches. We must be doing something right.
