I'm awake!

It is 9pm and Perrin has been in bed since 7:30.  We could hear increasingly loud sounds coming from her room so Joseph turns on the video monitor to take a look.  She is doing downward dog pose on her bed with her butt pointed at the camera and loudly proclaiming, "I'm awake mama! I'm awake papa!" 

Thank you, Perrin, for the clarification.   She went on to sing "Let it go! Let it go!" (song from Frozen) complete with large sweeping arm motions.  Joseph has finally given up on her settling down and is in her room right now in negotiations.  Spying on the monitor, I see there is a music box and papa serenades involved.  I don't hear singing coming from her room anymore so that means she is sleeping peacefully, right?


Yesterday evening during her bath, she was pretending to be a monster and would growl and roar and say she was eating me up.  When she got out of the bath and was streaking around the house before we could get pjs on her, we hear her say, "Monster peed."  

I go to check it out and she is using her stuffed orangutan, George, to mop up the pee on the floor. 

Me: No! Perrin, don't use your animals to clean up pee! Now he's all dirty!

Perrin: (crying) Monster crying (sniff sniff, tear).


True is doing regular baby stuff.  Soiling things, laying around having puffy cheeks and grinning at the insects dangling from his mobile.  (He loves those dang insects.)  

True and Simon. Turns out cats and babies like all the same stuff.
