"Shweh!"

Adelaide would NOT go down for a nap. We tried and tried. She cried and cried. She is at the stage now where her words are coming together. Still slurred and jumbled, we do our best to understand her speech. She needed a nap pretty bad. She is eating a ton lately and sleeping more, so we think she might be on a growth spurt. Then it came to me. She wasn't saying "Shlee!" for sleep.

Rather, it was
"Shweh!"
And that can only mean one thing.

So here she is. Sleeping. She has taken her shirt off and to the side. Her pants off too (she sleeps like her dad). Her little body will only tolerate a diaper before falling asleep. Her baby and bear discarded in the afore mentioned struggle. And with her blanket wrapped sweetly around her, she finally eases the grip she had on her Secret Sleeping Treasure.

Shrek.

I'll never figure out how they manage to sleep with so many toys. When they start rolling around, its bound to feel like sleeping on rocks.

I am laughing about the stripping that occurs before sleep time! I think parents should get some type of degree in translation because man, I am impressed with how you guys can figure out some of these words! She is sooooo dang cute!
