Anyone who knows me well, knows that I love to be in bed and I love to sleep.. other than eating, it is probably my next favorite. And frankly, probably the same for Hunt. So imagine my surprise that Harper is not an "easy" sleeper or generally ever content to just lay around. Of recent, however, she has begun to find the entertainment in bouncing in our bed, and even run into our room and asked to be lifted up into it. Yesterday was a particularly long day, long drive home and one of my single mommy evenings and I was just beat which is hard because I want to be fun and enjoy my time with her, but also really just wanted to do absolutely nothing at the same time. Much to my delight, the word that she kept repeating over and over was not "bath" (which made no sense because she really never would ask for a bath), but was actually "bed" which I realized once she crawled herself upstairs and headed into our room. We literally spent an hour and a half in my bed- me watching a movie on TV, and her doing puzzles on her iPhone with some occasional assistance. While I know that I'm not winning any awards for letting her zone out with the iPhone, she was totally content to just lay there next to me and chill. Maybe since she has transitioned to the two year old room and over stimulated again with all the new kids and activities, she just needed a night to veg out also? Whatever the reason, it was amazing, and I'd be lying if I didn't say that I hope it happens again soon!
In addition to asking for "more bed please", she also asked for "more selfies" which I found quite amusing..
