Quirkier By the Day

I put Ellie to bed for a nap around 12:15. She didn't fall asleep right away like she usually does. She rolled around, talked, stood up, walked around her crib, played peekaboo with her blanket, jabbered, laughed....

I'm watching her on the monitor, thinking at any moment she will tire herself out and fall asleep.

I looked at the clock at 1:30 and she was still wide awake. Not crying. Not asking for me. Just not sleeping.

So, I walked into her room around 1:35 to tell her to lay down and go to sleep. I opened the door, she looked at me, smiled, and said "Hi, Mommy! It Stink!"

She had pooped.

I changed her diaper, laid her back in her crib, she said "night night, Mommy!" and she immediately went to sleep.
