Audrey has been sleeping in since Ian was born. (Guess all of us are exhausted!) She's also been taking good naps, around 2 hours, and part of that is due to Eric telling Audrey she can only get up when there is a 2 on her clock - with the goal of her getting up at 2 PM. I've been concerned that this will backfire, and she'll want to get up at 2 AM as well, but that has yet to happen. She really does seem to wait until there is a 2 on her clock - somewhere amongst those numbers - before asking to get up, even in the morning.

This morning I was holding a smiley baby at 6 AM, and I was doing my best to try to get him to stop being cute and go back to sleep for an hour or so. When I heard Audrey yelling, "Daddy, come on! Get me up!" I knew there was no returning to bed. She was upright and clearly planning to get up for the day when I went in her room.

Audrey: "I want to get up. There's a 2 on my clock."

Me: "Your clock says 6:00. There's no 2 on it."

Audrey: "Oh but H is coming today! So I want to get up."

I knew this is why she was awake early! She's sooooo excited to see cousin H. There will be a lot of giggling going on around here this weekend. And likely not much sleep!
