On Boxing Day, the three of us were camping out in a Holiday Inn in Red Deer, Alberta due to a broken water pump in my 1993 Ford Tempo. Madeline didn't sleep very well, something I attribute to being away from home and having to sleep in the same room as her parents. After she'd been up for at least the third time in little more than an hour, I think that Chris tucked in her bed beside me. The silence of the three of us trying to fall back to sleep was broken by a small hand reaching out towards my armpit and a cheery (and *not* sleepy!) little voice saying "tickle tickle tickle!". Argh!
As overjoyed as I am that my little girl has finally started acquiring language and using it regularly, I think that not being thrilled with her wee-hours-of-the-morning babbling does not make me a bad mom :)
Ok, I had to laugh at the tickle tickle but I understand your frustration at that time of the morning!
