My girl woke me up last night at 2 am when dear husb came to bed.  She tossed and turned until 3'ish, then awoke again at 5 am ready to party.  We had big plans to have an early breakfast (not that early however!) and go for a long hike before b left for work at 2.  

Long story short, he got up with her to let mama sleep, and hours later we all ended up going back down for a nap until 10:30 am.  Breakfast turned into brunch, a hike turned into a quick walk at the pond by our house, and as dear b left for work the power went out. The day wasn't going quite as planned.

But you know what?  My day was amazing.  I was spoiled by dear B, & this girl that made me a mother makes every single day a-freaking-mazing.

 H refused to nap in the afternoon so I took her outside instead, and used what was left in the water pump to let her experience her first sprinkler.  She laughed and laughed until she was out of breath.  Oh the joy this girl brings me is endless.

Wake me up anytime my sweet.

(Just don't poop & pee on the floor the minute I take off your diaper, like you did tonight.  That was uncool.)

-Your mama

Ps: I promise I didn't forget about my redwood post. The trip was so amazing I've needed time to let it all soak in.  See my new header above for a sneak peek!
