Ainsley has all of a sudden become anti-sleep!! Truthfully, she still goes to sleep very well but always makes a comment about how sleep is boring, how long does she have to sleep, and will wake in the middle of the night asking "Is it time to go to Julia's yet (or what ever the activity is for that day). We bought her a clock and told her until she see's a 7 (we are thinking 7:00 is a good compromise and thank you Chris for this great idea!!!) she can not get out of bed. One morning she came running in our room so proud of herself for waiting. I quickly told her it wasn't time to get up. She immediatly burst into tears running back to her room "But, I saw a seven!" I looked up at our clock - It was 5:38....Ah ha, it must of been 5:37 on her clock. Okay, little flaw we had to explain WHICH number needed to be a 7!!!
So then she has become very curious about telling time....the other night she was going to sleep excited that she could read the numbers. Screaming from her room to ours "Mom, It's 7,3,3 (7:33), mom, it's 7,3,4 (7:34) mom, it's 7,3,5 (7:35) and on and on. I responded that she needed to close her eyes or she would be tired and not ready for our day tomorrow. She suprisingly answered "you're right mom, good night" Shortly after she hollered - "and what do the polka dots mean?" Too funny how their little brains are so curious about EVERYTHING!
