14 and 1/2 hours!!!!

Holy cow!!! The Girl fell asleep last night at 8pm in her high chair, it had been a L O N G day and she didn't quite get the nap that she is accustomed to and just crashed where she landed. We figured we'd let her sleep for about an hour and then wake her up, well when we tried to wake her up she just was not interested. So C brought her upstairs to her crib. Like fools we stayed up and watched a movie and I chatted w/ a friend online. Around 11:00, I said, we'd better go to bed b/c The Girl is going to wake up early tomorrow. So we headed on up, but b/c I can't go to sleep early simply b/c I am going to wake up early, so we did a few crossword puzzles and finally around 12:30 I turned out my light. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I opened one eye at 9:30 and thought for sure that I had missed The Girls early morning cry and that she and C would be downstairs, but lo and behold C was still in bed! So I asked him if she was alive and he said that he had heard her squawk once around 7. I went into her room and peeked, she was uncovered, but still breathing and totally sound asleep! Saturday mornings are big breakfast days in this house, so me and the Pancake Man went downstairs to get started, finally at 10:30 I couldn't stand it anymore and went to wake up The Girl. As soon as I opened her door her head popped up w/ a GIANT smile on her face. She's been awake for about 40 minutes now and is the happiest person alive, which of course makes C and me the happiest mom and dad alive. Today should be a very good day.

~til next time!
