Olivia goes on the most fantastic journeys on her way to sleep. She roams her crib, wailing, as if she were doomed to a life of wandering forever. Some days her gnashing of teeth gives way to actual gnawing on the crib rails. There are times when neither loving arms nor soothing lullabys, rocking or walking can calm her restless wake.
At these times, I wonder about our culture's humorous metaphor for sleep. Maybe it's not so far off, after all!
Many thanks to Daddy'o are in order for being with me this afternoon on a day when Olivia seemed to be wandering in the Land of Nod! It was good to have the company:) We had a yummy lunch together, too. Fortunately, Grandpa's morning with sweet O was a fun one. There was much playing and smacking of cups, much climbing and chattering and eating and slurping! We even got a video of brushing Olivia's teeth, which she loves. Ha!
Well, O just woke up from a nap, so I'll post this entry and get us ready for an afternoon walk!
