Well, Madeline and I dropped Chris off at the airport a few hours ago. Madeline was happy to be at an airport again, chirping "Airplane! Fast! Clouds!" from the backseat, and even more enthusiastically "Daddy eat cookies!". I guess she remembers our trip from a few weeks ago. Or at least the cookies that the flight attendants were handing out.
So, no nap today. Thus, more tv than I really would like. At least Bambi doesn't have advertising, aside for the promo for Cinderella. Sleep is going to be interesting this week. Madeline's been electing to read instead of sleep lately. She'll look at books in her crib until 9:30 - 10:00 pm after being put to bed around 7:30 - 8:00 pm. Chris and I don't hear a peep unless she calls for more books or "Mommy! Dark!" which means that she wants her door opened further to let more light from the stairwell in. I'm not so keen on a repeat performance this evening. I've actually removed every single book from her bedroom. Of course, there's basket full of those cheerily-illustrated objects of temptation in the living room. It's not that I don't want my child to love books - I would just like her to love going to bed at an appropriate hour more :)
Update: Madeline was in bed sleeping at 8:30 this evening - not bad! That gave me plenty of time afterward to win her a cute pair of jeans on eBay :)
ha! i've been stuck on the "too much TV" conundrum lately too...it's hard when you are winging it alone, and are tired. Great blog - found you via HBM...
