Activity-filled Night

Dearest Skyler,

You had your usual activity-filled day with Mama today. But what was unusual was the activity-filled night that took place as well.

Papa came home with dinner earlier than usual. We got dinner earlier as you'd not eaten lunch. You'd been sleepy the whole day. In fact, you'd only awakened at noon! This was a surprise as you'd gone to bed at the usual time last night. Even then, you were still sleepy after you got up. Anyway, because you were sleepy, you didn't really have lunch so we decided to have dinner earlier.

You ate a bit and ran around a bit. :D In the midst of dinner, you wanted a bath so Papa prepared it for you.

After your bath, we did lots of things! We played hide-and-seek. It was confusing at times as we couldn't figure out who was supposed to be hiding. :D But you were the seeker most of the time so it didn't matter. :D

Then we played with your play doh set (you're still afraid of the tool you call the octopus; we had to put it away before you would come near it). We made lots of animal shapes. And we made a mess too!

We then read several books together. You kept on choosing one after the other. :D

After that, we tried to get you to sleep even though it was way before your usual bed time. We all got in bed and went through our usual routine. But you were totally not ready to sleep.

You kept on dashing around doing things. You even went back to the living room to bring a stool in to try to get Mama's specs. It took you a very long time before you were ready to go to sleep.

Good night, Lil' One.

Papa and Mama love you!
