austen's to-do list for the day:
- make sure none of this happens
i am currently rocking her to sleep. she has already nursed, but no -- she will not nurse to sleep. i am playing her "please go to sleep austen" playlist i made for her bedtime on youtube; it works in magical ways. she responds to it by closing her eyes almost instantly -- i guess i've played it enough for her when she' sleepy that she associates it with bedtime -- but every time a song ends, she pops her eyes open and starts fussing, looking quite perturbed, until the next song plays. my particular little girl! i love her personality. it makes me laugh. i wonder how she is going to blossom in the next few years to come.
i think she is asleep now... i can feed the hungry toddler. he is bringing me hard-boiled eggs from the fridge, and i'm pretty sure i heard one being cracked repeatedly on the kitchen floor.
There was no new episode of DH Sunday!!! >:-[
ReplyDeleteThat's cool about the "go to sleep" playlist. Remember "Teddy Is Ready for Beddy-By?" Kinda sorta worked with AJ when he wasn't too colicky. We played it over and over.
