It's kind of hard to make a nick name out of "Audrie", but occasionally we find ourselves calling her "odd pod". And of course it's just out of love that we call her that- because she is the joy of our life. HOWEVER I will tell you why she is a little more than ODD... because she begs to go to bed. That's right. I hesitate to tell you because of the karma of the little one growing inside of me and if I tell you how crazy EASY it is to put our daughter to bed we're only destined to have a hellion next, right?? So the usual routine is we tell her it's time for bed and she is more than happy to give us kisses night-night and we lay her in bed (now recently in her toddler bed) and sing her a song or two, give her a pacifier, tell her we love her and walk out of the room. And she stays in bed and goes to sleep. But on several occasions, like tonight, it was about 20 minutes until her usual bedtime but she started saying night-night over and over and trying to drag us into her room to put her to sleep. We tried to tell her it wasn't time for bed yet, but she really wanted to go to bed! And she does this for naps sometimes, too. So weird! What kind of toddler WANTS to go to bed? And she always wakes up happy and ready to play again. Anyways, who knows what the future holds for us but for now we are just amazed by our little odd sleeper!Here are some photos I took of her today. We sure do love this little girl!
