Guess Where I Get to go?!

I went to an eye appointment yesterday around eleven in the morning. Usually, Mikayla goes down for a nap right at 12:30pm for two hours and has lunch when she wakes up. But, since the schedule was a little messed up yesterday, I gave her lunch before putting her down for her nap.

She talked and sang to herself for about an hour. Then, she started screaming. So, I go back upstairs to her room and she is holding on to the crib railing, jumping up and down.

"Hey, mommy!"

"Hey, baby. It's night night time."

"Nooooooooooo."

"Yes."

I put her down, give her the Pooh bear and covered her up with her quilt.About 15 minutes later, she's screaming again.

"Mmmmmooooooommmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyy!"I

go back up there. The second I open the door, she says "Weeeegggguulllllsssss!"

There's no point in me fighting her. I pick her up and bring her back downstairs. And I, being the horrible parent that I am, turn on the Wiggles.

Mikayla stands in front of the table hugging her Pooh bear. I'm watching her and her eyes start to droop. She's so tired. I notice that she starts doing the slow head bob. Once. Twice. She is really fighting sleep. Then all of a sudden...no way! As I'm watching her, she falls asleep. STANDING UP! Maybe I should pick her up. I was in awe. I didn't know you could fall asleep standing up. The next thing I know, Mikayla topples over. It was like watching a tree fall. TIMBER! The kid didn't even flinch! Oh My god! That is the funniest thing ever! So, I start laughing and I pick her up and go back to her room.

As I shut her bedroom door, I realize that Cullen is right. I DO have an express ticket.
