Oh yes - that is indeed a sleeping child.
At 4:45pm.
I tried to wake her. Kelton tried to wake her. There was no waking her.
I picked her up and put her in her bed and she stayed fast asleep until about 8:15pm when I heard her call to me. Kelton had been asleep for about an hour by this time and I figured she was going to want to get up from her "nap". I went in and all she wanted was for me to snuggle her and back to sleep she drifted.
Same thing around 8:30. I figured she must be hungry since she hadn't eaten dinner and lunch had been many hours before. But no - she wanted to stay asleep.
That was the last I heard of her until 2:15am. By then she had been sleeping for 9.5 hours and I figured I was in trouble. And I was for a while. She got up to go potty (thankfully! Because I have no idea when the last time had been prior to falling asleep.) and then tossed and turned for a while before finally falling back to sleep around 4am. She woke at 6:30 for her day.
She must have really needed the sleep - she is much better today. Not 100% herself but at least I've seen more energy in the past 5 hours then I saw all day yesterday.
I have to say, it was so strange - and kind of a nice change of pace - to only have one child to tend to after dinner. Kelton and I hung out together and watched some of the TV shows he loves and made guesses about what would happen next in the show. It was nice. And instead of the usual bedtime chaos, when it was time for bed he went without complaint and was fast asleep in less than 3 minutes.
Dakota studied last night so I was all alone for the rest of the evening - which isn't the norm for a Friday night. What an odd, but good, evening it was.
