My Little Companion

So what if the latest I wake up is 9:30 AM on a Saturday morning. I wake up to my daughter smiling from ear to ear and saying, "Hiiiiiiii," repeatedly until I get out of bed. I wouldn't have it any other way...well, honestly, I'd like to wake up at 11:30 maybe once a month. Uninterrupted sleep for just once a month, that's all I ask.

But I think the arrangement works pretty well. Aixah is up by 8:30 AM, usually. I give her the bottle and prepare her breakfast, nothing exciting, usually oatmeal or boiled eggs. Then I have my coffee and eggs and Aixah gets to play, which really means make a huge mess in the living room. There is no sensein cleaning up until she is put down for her first nap. That first nap is my best friend. Usually it is from 12 t 3...3 glorious hours in which I usually sit back and do nothing at all, hahaha...

Some of Aixah's favorite activities are dancing. And, honestly, she is very good at it. I've gone to parties with her and she will be the first and the last one on the dance floor. And she usually sticks to a partner, that is, some one to twirl her around until she is so dizzy that she can't stand on her own.

Her Saturday morning cartoons are Jack's Big Music Show, Lazy Town and Oswald. Oswald always puts me to sleep. And it is usually the last show she sees before naptime. Here is a picture of her sleeping (she took her pants off for this picture). She likes to cuddle into a cacoon and suck on a blankie. She barely fits in the crib!
