So last night was our first night here. Its stunning at night. There are little tiki lights on the paths. Its colder than I expeced though so I need to go into town to get a sweatshirt. Caily is fine, I packed all her warm stuff. Last night was a repeat performance of her Elvis Stoyko impressions – only this time she added a few new moves like the cheek pinch and face suck. I had them bring a crib so I can put the sides up to be sure she doesn’t flip herself out. She liked it – I think it was the challenge. When she started piling pillows into the corner and climbing them I realized that she is most definitely my “payback” – right nana…. We negotiated and agreed I’d pushed up to the bed so she could keep jumping in and out of it. When I woke up this morning she was snuggled into my arms so I think I know her preferred local. She’s napping in it now – it seems perfect for that.
Ok – now its been three nights with the crib – someone once said, “you’ll think you have it figured out, then wham! It doesn’t work anymore…” that’s so right. Night two was a “nightmare” – she flailed around and didn’t settle until I cocooned her into the crib – she LOVES this. All day yesterday she was crawling in and out of it… Last night she fell asleep for her 3pm nap at 6pm and I was so tired I decided to nap with her and deal with a midnight rendezvous if need be – well, she slept through until 7am with 3 bottles lined up in her crib for easy pickings. She seems to like the freedom to get her bottle when she wants it – so be it… she woke me up today with a pat on the cheek and a big smile.
