A-U-D-R-E-Y

I had fun re-designing Audrey's wall letters for her new room. I hung them over her bed, and she was THRILLED with them.

She walked into her room, and started spelling her name (I think she was actually checking to ensure I had the correct spelling :)

"A-U-D-R-E-Y!"

Little did I know that Audrey would be so excited about her letters, she would have trouble closing her peepers. I mean, she had to lay at the foot of the bed so that she could see her letters as she was trying to fall asleep. All we could hear over the monitor was Audrey spelling her name again and again, and then making the correct sounds for each of the letters. I told Eric I didn't want to take the letters down since they weren't the easiest to hang up (mainly due to my large belly), but she needed to get to sleep.

"Well, that's what we get for teaching Audrey her letters."

Point well taken.

Eric and I went to check on her before we went to bed a few hours later, and she had fallen asleep looking up at her letters. I asked him to turn her around so we could cover her up. As soon as he started to pick her up, she got really, really mad:

"NOOOOO! I want to see my letters! NOOOOOO!"

We couldn't stop laughing. How on earth does she have that kind of a mindset when she first wakes up?

So, Audrey now sleeps at the foot of the bed, so she can get a good look at her wall letters. I must have done a *really* good job with that project!
