Today we went on an adventure to Olympia, and when we got back, little Lauren was all asleep. (So was Abbie.) So, I changed her diaper and put her down for a nap. A few minutes later, I could hear her talking and playing. Keep in mind that she missed the morning nap, and being a believer in naptime (see Tuesday), I was set on getting this girl to sleep. So I told her to lie down. A few minutes later, she was up and at it again... then she started crying. At this point of my life, I was curled up on the couch with Book of Mormon stories (yes, the illustrated one) and feeling mighty sleepy. So I didn't want to be bothered. I had the thought, check her diaper. Did I? No--I was comfortable. So this continued on for a while until I dozed off then was awakened by more crying. I finally gave in and picked her up... and checked her diaper. She was right--she needed to be changed. Sorry, Lauren! :) Now she's asleep, and I'm awake, and that's the way it should be.
Other sweet moments:
- Morning in bed. This was great--the girls slept in until 8:17 a.m.! Record of the week. This meant that I also slept in until 8:17. Then I gathered up those girls and brought them back to bed with me. They were so sweet and happy, and we played in the big bed (snuggled and laughed) for a while. When I had first woken up this morning, I was a little sad because of a dream I had. Then, in bed with those girls, I felt so happy and it felt so real and good.
