Turn the light on!

Poor Paloma's nap & sleep schedule are all out of whack because of a mixture of things--getting out of the house early for Carmen & Gabe's swimming lessons, running around, and her evening swimming lessons. Sometimes she falls asleep in the car and sleeps long enough to feel like she doesn't need a real nap at the normal time.

Sometimes this works out fine, as it did on our marathon Dallas day on Saturday.

But sometimes she crashes after her swimming lessons (at a normal kid's bedtime) and sleeps until morning. No yelling, "Mom! Mommy?" or "Dad! Daddy?" from her crib.

But a few times lately she's awakened at 5 or 6 AM and called out until one of us wakes enough to get her.

The other day, she did this and David brought her back to our bed where she talked and talked. She asked for mommy milk, and I reminded her, it's not time yet. It's still dark outside.

And she responded, quite logically, "Turn the light on!"
