so, isabella has decided that she doesn’t like to sleep…oh, let’s say between the hours of 8 am until 8 pm. well, i guess i’d be lying if i said she didn’t sleep at all during the day. yesterday, she did manage to sleep from 9:15 until 9:25, from 2:50 until 3:10, and from 6:00 until 6:20. yes.

i know i can’t really complain because she’s sleeping all night. she falls asleep mommy rocks her to sleep at around 8, then she eats at 9:30, sleeps until 6, eats at 6, and goes back to sleep until she wakes up Emily wakes her at 8 am.

and i know i shouldn’t complain because she doesn’t complain. she doesn’t sleep, but she’s not unhappy. she plays, and screeches and talks up a storm. she’s enjoying her new trick…grabbing toys and shoving them into her mouth. she chomps her fingers, her hands, her thumbs…whatever she can get in there.

but she’s tired. she rubs her eyes until they turn red. i watch them roll back into her head. but nothing. no sleep.

it’s almost like she’s forgotten how to fall asleep on her own.
