I darn near forgot to make a post today. It’s not that it’s been a terribly busy day, but it has been one where I’ve had about zero free time to myself. Jack had a ton of errands to run in the morning, so I was on my own with Anna. I can get housework-type stuff done when it’s just the two of us, but it’s not great for trying to sit down at the computer. Then the afternoon was tied up since we had to go to the first birthday party for my youngest step-grandson. Anna never took a nap during any of this time, instead waiting until 5:30pm to crash. Usually once it gets past about 4pm I don’t bother with a nap for her, but tonight I had sat her down in front of the tv to watch the “Wiggly Wiggly Christmas” DVD because I was just desperate to get some time to finish reading an article, and when I looked back at her she had her head on her little stuffed chair and her butt up in the air and she was out cold. I transferred her to the couch, and then tried to wake her up about 45 minutes later in the hopes that I could still get her to stick to her normal bedtime, but she wanted no part of being conscious. By this time Jack was home from his second round of errands, and so he just took her upstairs and put her to bed.

I fully expect her to be wide awake at 4am.
