Day #1543 (Wed., Mar. 26, 2014) – Let Mommy Sleep
I dropped Katie off at school today. She went inside the classroom and sat down and read a book. I asked Mary if she was playing with any of the children. She said that “she does, but also likes to read…it’s a good combination”.
When I got home from work I gave Katie some of the stickers I picked up at Trader Joe’s the other day (see photo to the left). She sure loves her presents. They were March 17th St. Patrick’s Day stickers…but better late than never. The last I heard she was going to put them on some dark green construction paper.
My wife was tired this evening so she went to bed. I made some carrot/apple/celery juice for her and left it in the fridge. When I was watching the news Katie was in her room reading books. Soon she was in the living room with a dollhouse she picked up from the bedroom…so much for a restful sleep for my wife.
Later in the evening Katie started to walk back down the hallway. I asked her where she was going and she said that she missed her mommy. When I told her that she should let mommy sleep she started to cry. Nothing seemed to soothe her except watching a Tom Sawyer cartoon on television. Soon she was having a dish of honey with peanuts and calming down. By the time she had some milk and a new dish of jam my wife was up. Time to trade places and daddy get some rest…
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY
——————–
1) Katie has become very clingy to her mother as of late.
