Two?!

Happy Birthday, Little One!

Today was Avery's birthday.  I did a post over on Casa de Trio with a summary of events.

Plane Sheets

Avery's plane sheets arrived today.  When I told her we were heading upstairs to put her plane sheets on her bed, she bolted up those stairs and was so.very.excited. to get into bed.  Hopefully she'll be just as excited to be in it when D leaves the room tonight.  Fingers are crossed tightly here at CdT.

Crying

The night time crying has commenced.  It was D's night to do the nighttime routine, but we've also fallen into an unspoken pattern of the other parent heading upstairs if she continues to cry after x minutes (x being an unnamed number - just what feels right based on intensity of crying, I guess).   Anyway, this means it'll be my turn to head upstairs if she doesn't stop soon.  Right now she's just saying, "Uppy Daddy!" over and over.  Dang, she was SO excited about her plane sheets.  I knew those probably wouldn't be enough to keep her in the bed, but I had some delusional hopes.

Oh my, there is hope.  I hear silence.  I was thinking of heading up, but I'm staying put in my office for a good 20 minutes if this silence keeps up.  Sometimes she's just listening for our footsteps to start crying again. 

Loot

Avery got lots of presents from various relatives and friends.  Among them: a Cabbage Patch doll, a helicopter toy, a set of good quality and very cute underwear, a tricycle, a book, a tutu with matching hairclip and shirt, a CD & some playdough, and a few other yet to be determined things as we didn't open a few presents.  Napping needed to happen and we didn't get to the other presents.  Those can wait until tomorrow.
