well they told me estelle would grow up fast. but i didnt realize it would be this quick! let me set the scene:estelle's bedtime routine
1. bath
2. run around like a mad women
3. brush teeth
4. pjs on amidst shrieks of refusal...how dare i clothe her
5. 3 books - im a sucker for a good story
6. sucky in the mouth
7. goodnight prayers
8. lights out and i rock her and sing her 5 songs
9. into bed with ruby(fav doll)
10. im out.
let me tell you how as of late, this has varied slightly.
1. through 7. as above
8. point to crib
9. i ask if she wants to be in her bed.
10. yes.
11. "bye mum"
12. put her in crib
13. buh-bye mama. bye bye ....bye. buh-bye.
14. i exit while wiping tears from my eyes
can someone explain to me how i went from rocking my baby to sleep to her kicking me out of her room .... literally overnight....gasp. well i guess she technically is a "pre-teen"
sob.
