Broken Record

Don't want to add the whole mess of the goat rodeo* last night, but in short...dear daughter refused to sleep till 2 in the morning last night.

Over-tired baby? Yes, coz she did not nap well the whole day.

Over-tired parents.

Our last masterstroke was to pile her up in the car and take her out for a drive.

Plus, she managed to run a low grade fever (heat wave + exhaustion)...which got cured by today morning.

I realized that she babbles when she has fever.

Which, flashback to several decades, is me. As a kid, I babbled when I had fever.




* That's a phrase that Mel's daughter had coined a couple of years ago.

  1. Isn't it amazing how when the morning comes they are all bright eyed and bushy tailed? I could never figure out how the boys could be so rested when I felt so crummy after nights like those. Sigh.

    It's pretty awesome to see the similarities between a child and yourself, isn't it? Hugs.

  3. Mess with that sleep schedule and pay...

    Sigh. Children are not at all flexible. Well, mine isn't, anyway.
