Whew! It's been awhile since I've posted anything! What with our visit with Nannie and Granddad finished not that long ago, I figured it's time to get back at the blog! Might as well celebrate my triumphant return to blogging with a good story...
So I put Abby to bed tonight at the usual time, around 8pm, knowing full well that she would play in her room for a little bit and eventually fall asleep. She'll usually haul a few extra toys into her bed, maybe a book, and play for a bit before she drops off. Everything went according to plan and I heard things quiet down in her room around 8:30; I knew she must have fallen asleep. As usual, I went in to check on her before I turned in around 9:30, at which point I usually take out all the extra toys she's accumulated and make sure she's tucked in safe and sound for the night. Imagine my surprise when I opened the door to her room and, as the light filtered in and my eyes adjusted to the dark, I couldn't find Abby anywhere! Not only was she not in her bed, but neither were her blankets, her pillow or ANY of her stuffed animals! I had a brief moment of panic before I noticed that the trundle drawer from under her crib had been pulled out into the middle of the room... hmmmm.....
There was a suspicious lumpy pile of blankets emitting a soft snoring-like noise in the middle of the drawer, and I could see an Elmo peeking out from beneath the blankets at me... A-HA! Stifling a laugh, I ran from the room, grabbed the camera and returned to document this strange phenomena. As I pulled the blankets back, her eyes flew open and she was all smiles; clearly she was impressed with herself. I must admit, she looked pretty cozy. So I lifted her out of her drawer-nest and tucked her, her blankets, her pillow, and all her stuffed toys back in her bed where she promptly went back to sleep.
Oh my.
