Snuggles

Camilla woke up this morning with some killer bed head. We've had a rough couple or three nights around here. Last night was a little better, but the night before last she was up practically every 15 minutes screaming "Mum!" and "Water!!". A few nights ago, she was so tired that when 7:00 rolled around she practically put herself to bed fully clothed. I changed her into her jammies while she was half asleep and kissed her goodnight and off she went. It was pretty funny.  Yesterday, she was so overtired from not sleeping well at night that she kept zoning out and her eyes kept glazing over. After almost falling asleep at the lunch table, I put her for a nap which lasted a grand total of about 20 minutes, after which she woke up screaming and crying. We snuggled on the couch, but she really wanted her Daddy! I think it's a combination of a bad case of sniffles and some teething again.

When Daddy got home from school, Camilla was so glad. She and Daddy snuggled on the couch like this for over an hour. She would stick her hand up the sleeve of his sweater, draw on his palm with her little finger and cling onto his sweater. It was super sweet to see the two of them together. Just before dinner she recovered some energy and her and Daddy had a nice game of kick ball. She laughed so hard that she was vibrating, and sounded almost like a grampa. It cracked me up!

Despite her being super tired, we were able to catch a program at the Library after our Doctor's appointment yesterday. She had a lot of fun and it was good for her to interact with the kids there. We got to sing a bunch of songs, dance around, be silly, play with shakers and bells and read stories. They ended the program off with some bubble blowing. Camilla now knows how to blow bubbles! She was so excited to see the bubbles pop out of the wand when she blew. It was cute. 

Last night Camilla had me giggling at bed time. She went to bed no problem, but she spent about 20 minutes in her bed talking to herself, her doll, and giggling. It was SO funny to hear the stuff she was coming up with. I wanted to record it so bad. I stood at the bottom of the stairs just listening and smiling. She was making her doll talk. Her doll would say "Mama?" and then Camilla would rattle something back to her. I love listening to her play pretend.

Today she seems to have a bit more energy. It should be a good day!
