Starbucks and Bedtime...

Bed time for Ava has always been a trying time to say the least. She slept ok the first 3 months of her life, then after that..sleep..just wasn't heard of. At least for the first 3 years she was waking up 5-6 times a night. Sometimes more than that, and no I am not being dramatic, exaggerating, stretching the truth or any of that. She just recently start to sleep about a 4 hour stretch without waking up.

Now after 4 years of not sleeping , or being woke up every 30 mins on the dot, I cannot sleep. I stay up to unheard of hours, playing isketch, harvesting my crops on facebook, and listening to music trying my hardest to fall asleep...ok so I have given up on trying :)

I suppose I should not have drank this caffeine, sugar loaded, whipped cream topped Pumpkin Spice Latte...I am sure this is not going to help my efforts to fall asleep at a decent time tonight ...


Now to my credit, that was Ava's cookie, that she just had to have..and ended up not liking, now it just sitting here..hmm.

...and you would think Miss Aves had a latte herself tonight. She would not calm down for anything, and would have none of this story reading...


The bad thing is, I knew she was tired. You just know when they can't keep their eyes open and they start doing anything and everything to stay awake. She had to pee, get a "grink", throwing the " im ungry" one out there that makes you feel so guilty as a parent, especially as a parent of a child that never eats, even though you KNOW its just an excuse, but you march out there and give her an "easter bunny ogurt, only for her to announce after one lick that she is done... soon she just resorted to jumping on the bed like a mad woman...child...







I just adore when she sticks her fingers out like this..


Yes yes, my child was pulling out all the stops tonight, and I could not help but to pull out my camera, possibly encouraging her silliness, and take some snaps.

Eventually she was willing to pass out hugs..
and make her trademark face, that I havent been able to catch on camera in awhile..


....and fall fast asleep...


Now me? I have some crops to harvest :)
