Last night, Michelle was off to an office dinner and videoke session. When I got home around 5PM, Gretchen and Jeanne were out playing so I was able to rest a bit until they got back. It turned out she had been out playing the whole afternoon and hadn’t taken her nap or snack. She was hungry so I gave her dinner early.
After dinner we sat on the sofa and she said “Let’s watch!” and so, along with Gretchen, we watched Thor. She took her nap midway through and woke up in time for the finale. After the movie, we prepared for bed and turned off the lights. But she wouldn’t sleep and kept walking about in the dark. She looked out the window from the bed, went out and up the sofa and looked out the window, then up a dining chair and looked out the window again. She was looking down the stairway and I realized she was looking for mommy.
After a while, she got tired. I hugged her and we went back to bed where I entertained her with YouTube clips on the iPad. She watched while we slowly fell asleep. Only Michelle’s arrival awakened me but I was tired and sleepy and was back asleep quickly.
